Congressman Polk is surely one of America's founding political philosophers. I believe his philosophy is really incorporated in our current Stafford Act (1988). The states will start to fund their losses with a little transition help from the Federal agencies.

It's the same for the rest of our socialist paradises.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire's acceptance of a private gift from President Jefferson, establishes that this New England city accepted the proceeds of slave labor. President Jefferson, America's first John D. Rockefeller, was the nation's largest slave-owner.

Puerto Rico did not get "disgraceful neglect". The place was in bankruptcy. People could relocate to the mainland...numerous charities with relocation arrangements.

Attention Cynthia A. Kierner: The nation changed after the FDR administrative state established. At the time, it worked.
