Dishonest Abe and The Federal Oligarchs with Tom Dilorenzo

The fine economist and civil war era historian Tom DiLorenzo
joined The Two Mikes today to discuss issues touching on
both areas.

Dr. DiLorenzo has just published a book named The Politically
Incorrect Guide to Economics, which has received fifty-five
5-star reviews at Amazon. In talking about his book and the
American economy generally, Dr. DiLorenzo said that it now should
be obvious to all Americans that the "schemes and plans" of almost
all post-Woodrow-Wilson U.S. Governments have been aimed at
bringing Americans more and more under its control, just as
its foreign policy -- it seems-- is still out to control the
world. Quite simply the national government is "unsafe and
dangerous ... its main purpose is to take bribes."

On the pertinence of Civil War history to today's problems, Dr.
DiLorenzo noted that Lincoln's administration entered the conflict
in a situation where all three branches of the national government
all participated in constitutional interpretation.

By the end of the war, the Supreme Court had emerged with the sole
responsibility for constitutional interpretation, leading to the
current situation where we are ruled by that court, and nine people
who have never been elected for anything.

Dr. DiLorenzo also noted that the Lincoln administration put the
10th Amendment on the road to meaninglessness, which has led to
fewer and fewer powers being lodged in the states and in the
people. Today, a person raising the issue of states rights -- meant
to guarantee against the tyranny of the national government earns
the speaker charges of holding racist and pro-slavery views. Thomas
Jefferson,

Dr. DiLorenzo said, wanted all Americans -- the governors and the
governed -- to be bound by the chains of the Constitution, and
especially by the strong protections for liberty found in the 10th
Amendment. This episode is a bit long, but we are betting that our
audience always finds talks with Dr. Di Lorenzo to be easy and
informative experiences.

Dr. DiLorenzo's recent book on economics -- cited above -- is
available at Amazon, Barnes Noble, and many other outlets. Among
his provocative and highly common sense books on Lincoln and the
Civil War era are: The Problem with Lincoln, The Real
Lincoln, and Lincoln UnMasked, all which are available
at Amazon, Barnes Noble, AbeBooks, Powell Books, and many other
outlets.
