As soon as everyone found out (thought) the stocks were worth much less, everyone sold and additional cash was needed to pay off all of their debts. Why did the stock market crash of 1929 effect the US in such a magnitude as it did? There are multiple answers to this question. One answer was because people didn’t buy stocks with money, like you would food. They bought stocks with other stocks and the assurance that the money they would give was in stock already.
The nation was quite poor from the Revolution and had loans from the French that it was unable to pay back. This was because the Confederation did not have the power to tax, the states were supposed to donate money to the government and as a result, when other states realized that some were not donating money, they refused to as well. Despite the lack of taxing for the nation, the states placed taxes on goods being traded in or through their territory from other states. However, trade was complicated by the fact that there was no national currency. A Virginia dollar could be worth more than a South Carolina dollar, or worth less than a New England gold coin.
In concern of the movement, not everyone is happy and Wall Street embraces deregulation, undoing many of the rules put in place in the wake of the Great Depression to limit banks’ riskiest investments. The limits on interstate banking are gone; down came the wall separating commercial and investment banks. Wall Street did not respect people; they had only themselves in mind how they could become richer and the common people poorer. Their virtues are in question, Wall Street should have a professional code of ethics these are the roles that are supposed to govern the conduct of members of their given profession. Which Wall Street did not have in place or this would have never happen.
The employers would have money, so they wouldn't have to lay off any workers; the workers would have money so they would be able to purchase consumer products, and so on. This proposition was obviously quite flawed: how many of the citizens would really use the money to buy 'necessities'? How much of the government's money would be wasted before they realized this was not going to work? Thankfully, the citizens of Canada(or rather, Alberta) never found out - Aberhart's idea of 'Social Credit' never did garner much reception, and so he did not have a chance to put his idea into
Unfortunately, it did. On October 29, 1929, the stock market crashed, and the United States once again found itself in economic turmoil. Prior to this, many people had begun purchasing stock on margin, or in other words, on credit. When the market crashed, the stock brokers called the loans they gave out back so that their companies may survive, except the loans couldn’t be paid back by the debtors. Many of the nation’s banks soon went under because they too had paid into the stock market and had lost much of their money.
Workers had virtually no bargaining power with their employers and were extremely vulnerable to economic downturns, which left them unemployed at a moment’s notice. Similarly they were forced to accept the dangerous working conditions, long hours, and often low pay offered by large enterprises (Porter, 1973) Porter, Glenn. The Rise of Big Business, 1860-1910. New York: Crowell, 1973. Nations of Nations, pp 544, 545.
The interoperability was never put into place for reasons that can only be speculated on. There are assumptions that Grant Holcomb the architect of the proposed system had a conflict of interest that may have profited him. There are also allegations that Greg Meffert, Nagin's chief technology officer, stated that the technology wouldn't work. Many controversial issues of being unethical by several parties involved in this system caused a delay that unfortunately wasn’t in play for Katrina. Interoperability is dangerous to the concept of Federalism because although New Orleans was granted money to fund the system by the national government, at the state level, it was never implemented.
has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of society . . . It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments .” After reading what Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist no. 78, I agree with what he wrote but I can’t fully agree.
