[Night Hides Not]

I had a great professor for macroeconomics. 83 years young, crotchety as all get out, politically incorrect, but he knew his stuff. God help you if you weren't prepared for class. There was no place to hide, as there were only six students in the class.

His mantra? "There are no free lunches!"

I just read "Unbroken" and I was reminded of life in America during the Great Depression. People had it very tough back then, like my Dad. Families simply went without. Some kids had never eated in a restaurant in their lives before turning 21. Mothers patched clothing and sold wild flowers in the street to earn extra money.

Today, even our "poor" have 61" Plasma TVs, smart phones, central heating and air conditioning, a car, and a computer.
