ALL have won and ALL shall have prizes. Let there be no more horrible examples to instruct the Youth Of America in the condign agony of defeat as a result of improvidence and hubris. Should the Masters Of Economic Outcomes allow the Shadow Economy to collapse into its own futility, then not one factory would be instantly vaporized, nor would a single counting house be translated into a parallel universe. Instead, stronger hands would rush to sustain those resources that have value by putting them to work. Andrew Mellon's advice is as cogent and correct today as when President HOOVER ignored it. FORECLOSE AND AUCTION! House renters in those derelict mansions! Hire workers for those cheap factories! Employ clerks in the viable counting houses! TRUST THE PEOPLE! Produce for the people. LIBERTY will sort it out!
