Les Loken talks about his desperation to earn a living after the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This is an older version (2003) of the video posted already about the Depression. This one has more details, because his memory was better then.

  • This coming depression has the potential for being "worse" than the great depression of 1929. Here is the reason: Back in 1929 our money was backed by gold and silver. It is backed by "nothing" but faith in the federal government now. Although most people had very little money in 1929, "cash was king" and it had real value. TODAY paper money is just that "paper". The government will just print more & more paper money to cover these "bail-out" plans, causing a massive inflationary depression.

  • @inkey2 They also lived on farms and were much more rural, so they could fend for themselves better.

  • he went thru a tough times and it is what most of americans have to be ready for today is not yet worse but certantly the time is approaching

  • @ItsFazsha I can't imagine if Obama is in charge during the depression he certainly has no idea what he is even doing during this recession.

  • Jack if you are still around you did a good job three years ago ivesting in gold and silver. Now are you doing anything else to protect yourself. The gold and silver has to be worth at least 3 times the amount in value. What about food are you stocking up just in case?

  • Newspapers OLD NEWS - I have ONLY bought 6 or 7 Newspapers in my life time Why waste money on OLD NEWS

  • It seems like people were tougher in those days. I think a lot of people wouldn't know how to handle a depression in the 21st Century. They're too accustomed to modern conveniences.

  • Obama isn't helping matters, you don't give a company like AIG billions of dollars, they tear through it then give them billions more of tax payer money. YOU DON'T REWARD FAILURE IDIOT.

  • i love watching videos on youtube naked! N

  • "I heard a theory that the depression was started partially on purpose to give the country just what he was talking about-recruits for the military."

    Actually no, the U.S. Military during the 1930s was the 5th smallest in the world.
