Government Planning Always Involves Compulsion.

The First (lesson) Which We Meet Again And Again In History, Is That Once The Dole Or Similar Relief Programs Are Introduced, They Seem Almost Inevitably - Unless Surrounded By The Most Rigid Restrictions - To Get Out Of Hand. The Second Lesson Is That Once This Happens The Poor Become More Numerous And Worse Off Than They Were Before, Not Only Because They Have Lost Self-reliance, But Because The Sources Of Wealth And Production On Which They Depend For Either Doles Or Jobs Are Diminished Or Destroyed.

The Times Call For Courage. The Times Call For Hard Work. But If The Demands Are High, It Is Because The Stakes Are Even Higher. They Are Nothing Less Than The Future Of Human Liberty, Which Means The Future Of Civilization.

From A Strictly Economic Point Of View, Buying Gold In A Major Inflation And Holding It Probably Presents The Least Risk Of Capital Loss Of Any Investment Or Speculation.

Practically All Government Attempts To Redistribute Wealth And Income Tend To Smother Productive Incentives And Lead Toward General Impoverishment.

The More 'adequate' We Make Relief, The More People We Are Going To Find Willing To Get On It And Stay On It Indefinitely. The More We Try To Make Sure That Everybody Really In Need Of Relief Gets It, The More Certain We Can Be That We Are Also Giving It To People Who Neither Need Nor Deserve It.
