the New Deal never came close to ending the great slump of the 1930s. And what is more, many experts believe that its creator Franklin Delano Roosevelt actually made it much, much worse.

FDR, as he was universally known, was a patrician New York Democrat confined to a wheelchair after contracting polio. He won a record four elections and led his country to victory in the Second World War.

When others seemed clueless in the face of the Depression, he promised unstinting
government activism. And his breezy self-confidence inspired a generation of Americans — including Ronald Reagan, whose admiration for his political hero never faltered even as he was dismantling FDR’s policies in the 1980s.

It is also easy to see why the New Deal struck such a chord. When FDR became president in March 1933, the American economy was facing collapse. Banks had been shut in 32 states, and some 17million people had been thrown out of work — almost a third of the adult workforce.

There is no doubt that his public works and ‘workfare’ schemes provided desperately needed relief for millions. At a time when welfare was no more than rudimentary, these schemes meant the difference between starvation and survival.

Yet the New Deal was meant to bring not just relief, but economic recovery. In that respect, it failed.

Are we repeating the disaster from the 1930′s with all of these bailout? Read the full story and you decide and give me your comments.

A Scottsdale man who ran four Western Union stores in Phoenix and Mesa was indicted Tuesday on 80 counts of money laundering and other crimes that are suspected of financing human smugglers and drug dealers.
Attorney General Terry Goddard announced the indictment of Bruce Dennis Love, 50, who owns homes in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Two other men suspected in the four-year-old, $56.8 million money-laundering scheme were also indicted. Their names have been withheld because they have not been served with the indictment, said Andrea Esquer, Goddard’s spokeswoman.
Vincent Picard, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Phoenix, which participated in the 23-month-long investigation, said the indictments shut down one of the “illegal support structures for human smugglers and drug traffickers. This investigation hit them where it hurts.”
This is how the scheme worked, investigators said.
Coyotes would bring illegal immigrants from Mexico into Phoenix. At coyotes’ directions, the immigrants’ family members would wire money to Love’s Western Union stores to pay the smugglers to take the immigrants to particular destinations.
Smugglers or their human cargo would go to Love’s stores to pick up the cash. Love received a Western Union fee on each transaction.
The indictment and court documents said Love ran his operation out of three locations in Phoenix and one in Mesa, which conducted Western Union and check-cashing services.
One of the stores was tucked into a small back room inside a Mexican butcher shop in west-central Phoenix.
Love was warned as early as 2004 by one of his store clerks that he would “get in trouble” for catering to his “coyote clientele,” according to a court document.
But Love told the clerk that the “coyotes were driving his (money-transfer) commissions” and he demanded that such wires be paid by his cashiers, the court record said.
Love courted the coyote trade because the high- volume business boosted his commissions, court records said.
According to court records, Love’s employees estimated that 80 to 100 percent of all Western Union transactions in his stores were intended to pay smugglers bringing illegal immigrants into the United States.
Love’s suspected money-laundering scheme was unraveled by the Arizona Financial Crimes Task Force, which includes ICE, the Phoenix Police Department, the Department of Public Safety and the Attorney General’s Office.
The indictment claims that Love and the two unidentified suspects violated state money-laundering laws by making false statements and reports, not filing suspicious-activity reports, and accepting false personal identification from people receiving the wired money.
Love, also indicted on charges of conspiracy, participating in a criminal syndicate, and other counts, was arrested Friday.
He was released on $20,000 cash bond and was ordered to surrender his passport.
He is expected to be arraigned in Maricopa County Superior Court at 8:30 a.m. next Wednesday.
If convicted, Love could face up to 100 years in prison terms if served consecutively or 23 years if served concurrently.

The situation was as follows (this is not opinionated, these are simply facts).
1)A few friends and I found an old tube of halloween facepaint, and got a little carried away. One friend and i had random streaks of paint on our faces, and another friend had his face completely covered in the paint. We were at home, simply trying to pass the time and have a good laugh.

We decided to walk across the street to the deli, where i was a former employee, to grab a quick bite to eat.

We made it about 12 steps off of my property and were stopped by two NYPD officers.

2)We were told to spread our limbs out on the front wall of the store and were searched by the officers. (Nothing illegal or even out of the ordinary was found or in our possesion.)
3)We were respectful to the officers.
4)We were all issued a summons with the violation of “Disorderly Conduct”, and told to appear in court.

I am planning to ship for Basic Training for the U.S. Army within a few months. I do not know how to approach this. I have a CLEAN RECORD and would like to keep it that way. Any advice would be greatly appreaciated. Thank you.

I have been paying $45 and $80 tickets every 6 months or so for the last 6 years on a traffic ticket that there is no record of in the court system.
Every 6 months, my drivers license becomes suspended and I have to pay the fees to reinstate it before I can deal with the “original charge”.
But then it comes to light that the “original charge” was ruled away.
But this keeps happening and it’s so confusing that Lawyers can’t even get it to go away.

Should I just start suing my lawyers in small claims court?
Would that help to light a fire under their butts?

Please Help.

(Never use Prepaid Legal… they just take your money every month and don’t file the correct motions.)
