In addition to a banking cartel, we'll now have a health insurance cartel.

Almost makes me wonder when the health insurance companies will get access to the discount window.:sarcasm:

1. You were around in 1913?
Wow, you may be our oldest DUer!

So how does President Wilson compare to President Obama in your view?

4. Yup the IRS was created in 1913, same year as the Fed.
That parallel is definitely interesting.
