What we need today is another FDR.

I remember the Depression and the Dirty 30s. I believe we're headed to another Depression, I hope without the dust this time.

I myself lived through the Great Depression, and it was quite the unusual period in our country's history, one in which I see many parallels with today's current economic situation.

Please take a look at my channel, I think you'd really enjoy it. I have clips from a documentary about the Depression and the 1930's that I produced called "The Thirties and the Greatest Generation."

Thanks for taking the time to spread the word about our Great American History.

'Sakes! Imagine... a generation that grew up with computers waiting to do their bidding, and learning internet protocols before they learned their A B C's... having to -possibly- turn earth with shovels. Manual labor for college grads. That'd be a socially trying time.

Hear hear! Well-said! Let me add: "Everything old is new again." ...Unfortunately, in this case, eh? We are so screwed.
