It’s good to reflect on Hitler’s actions

I think speaker Nancy Pelosi is correct to bring up Nazi Germany and Adolph Hitler. It is good to look and see how Hitler took over Germany so it cannot happen here in the USA.

Hitler demonized all of his critics as he controlled and censored the news. People were encouraged to turn into the government anyone who spoke out against his policies and he kept a list. Unemployment was well over 10 percent as the economy was in a depression. He also nationalized banks and major manufacturing companies, putting cronies in charge of them. He nationalized health care and established abortion of undesirables and people who were old and no longer productive were assisted in suicide. Religious expression was restricted and not allowed in public places.

Thank God we live in the USA and our politicians would never do anything like that to the citizens of this country. But I sure wish they would read bills before they pass them.

I will close with the following quote, “Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same.” - Ronald Reagan.
