1908 that is.

If you're a history buff there is an offer to buy CDs of William Howard Taft and William Jennings Bryant speaking on recordings about different issues.

At the below link it has a couple of sample recordings by both gentlemen that you can listen to.

Damn, the Phillippine discussion has a somewhat familiar ring to it, no?

Thanks, btw. VERY interesting.

Taft prophetic on banking.

Nails the pros, the cons AND the ultimate consequence.

It's crazy how little has changed in a hundred years.

the unregulated financial system fucking up now is the same story repeated several times in US history.
