Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

—- Isaiah 5:20

       When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. … you may know that your society is doomed.

—- Francisco d’Anconia, Atlas Shrugged

       The New Deal II (1935-39) continues: Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Franklin Roosevelt, Esq.—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, establishing the Works Progress Administration, another Keynesian “make-work” program that 4,000,000,000 “dollars” (badly needed for economic recovery) seized through the unlawful income tax, and spends it on less efficient endeavors.

       Postscript: Four years later, a CONgressional inquiry revealed the WPA to be riddled with corruption:

• Three-hundred, forty-nine WPA employees (Federal workers) in one kentucky district were put to work surveying all WPA employees in the district for their political sympathies—those not supporting Democratic de facto President Franklin Roosevelt, Esq., were laid off.
• In another kentucky WPA district, employees were asked to pledge their vote for New Dealer Democratic de facto senator Marvel Mills Logan, Esq.—those that did not were laid off.
• Republican WPA employees, in the commonwealths of kentucky and pennsylvania were told they had to change their party affiliations, as condition of continued employment.
• WPA employees in the commonwealth of kentucky, and the confederate state of tennessee, were told to donate two-percent of their salary to de facto President Roosevelt’s re-election campaign, if they wanted to keep their jobs.
• In the commonwealth of pennsylvania, contractors who leased trucks to the WPA were solicited for campaign contributions to the Democratic Party.
• A white collar WPA employee in the commonwealth of pennsylvania was transferred to pick-axe job in a limestone quarry, after he refused to change his party affiliation from Republican (fascist/socialist) to Democratic (socialist/fascist).
• In one CONgressional district in C(r)ook(ed) County, illinois, 450 WPA employees were assigned the job of canvassing for the district’s Democratic CONgressman—they were laid off after the election.

       NOTE: As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Roosevelt was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
