The 1837 Panic was preceded by a 25-fold increase in bank credit between 1830 and 1837.

How are dictatorships maintained? Military force. My plan would be difficult to implement, but the reasons for it are far from absurd. Either you do not understand the dangers of military power or you do not care about the dangers of military power. Either way, I can't say your little emotional appeal about men and women whose lives are in the politician's hands is a very rational argument against the very real problems of military power in a democratic country.
