Money As Debt: A Visual Post-Script
With respect to this earlier discussion. (H/T Neil Wilson, who reminded me that this phrasing is still on British pounds; I was looking at American bills, where I believe there was a variant of this phrasing.)

(The reason presumably is that another URL handles comments, and so the user session needs to be preserved when redirected to that site. I don't like this, but this is not enough to make me switch my hosting service.)

Warning: Conservativism is harmful to human beings.
The Canadian Conservative Party was knocked out of Federal politics for almost all of the period 1935(?)-1986 (other than the Deifenbaker period) as a result of their austerity policies of the 1930s. (And to be fair, the Liberal Party was just as bad; they just managed to pin the blame on the Conservatives.) Growing up in the 1970s, older people still were mad when they talked about "Bennett Buggies" (look it up in Wikipedia).
DeleteBack in the 1990s (the last period I followed partisan politics carefully), conservatives were well aware of that history. No idea how this amnesia crept in, especially amongst people labelling themselves "conservative".
