Comic Strips and Politics

As I've said before, cartoonists in the newspaper ought to stay away from politics, especially if they have no idea what's going on. The comic strips are for entertainment, not political wrangling. I usually read the comics on my computer each morning, to wake up, since I stopped reading the Denver Post after they ran the Rocky Mountain News out of business, took over all their holdings, then reduced their own page size while increasing their ad rates. Today, Condorville ran one where the artist thought the Great Depression" was in 2008, and Obama stopped with the "Community Reinvestment Act of 1976," requiring banks to loan money to people who they KNEW couldn't afford it, on pain of a RICO investigation if they didn't. He also thinks that "solved the problem" and that Trump is about to de-regulate those banks so it can happen again. It is this kind of twisted thinking that illustrates their abysmal ignorance. In this case that the Great Depression happened in 1929 and was caused by those "Wascally bankers" when it wasn't. Bankers lost millions then. It was caused by an "economic bubble" that burst, and FDR (a politician) actually caused it to last longer than it would have without his socialistic policies. This proves again that most people think history began on the date of their birth. (Candorville)
