Even during the last Great Depression, there were large numbers of people who lived very well...
Yes—very true-—
—great-grandmother was a maid for a very wealthy and they supplemented her pay with leftover food—my grandfather ate quite well—
—great-grandfather owned a bar-—EVERYONE drank away their worries after prohibtion was repealed
Yes, but during the Great Depression, MOST people actually had morals and Christian values. There was almost an innocence about the generation of my parents, compared to the majority of Americans today. The crime rate wasn’t nearly as high as it is now, nor were there multitudes of crack addicts and entitlement-minded welfare recipients as there is now. What we’re probably facing is the complete breakdown of society as the economy falls apart and as government, as usual, fubars everything to the ‘nth’ degree. Once the entitlement-minded Obama-voters discover that they’re no longer going to get that freebie check to pay for that new SUV or for their drugs & beer...there will be bloodshed.
Those Americans that don’t already have guns for their own protection will probably become victims of those criminal-minded that DO have guns and want or intend to take what they damned well feel like taking.
Instead of a “brave new world” we are now facing a “scary as hell-on-earth new world”. Instead of people falling back on their retirement savings that they’ve worked hard for their entire lives, they’ll be standing in soup lines right along with the indigents, illegals and criminals. Instead of our kids being able to remain kids and enjoy their childhood, they’ll be facing a stark reality of life under Marxist commies. Add to this the probability that our terrorist enemies will probably take the opportunity to nuke/WMD attack us while we’re down....since the leftist DemocRats will have made it so much easier than over the past 8 years....and will have assured them that no “in kind” retaliation will be forthcoming....
And yes, all of this...thanks to the Stuck-On-Stupid, greedy, anti-American, power hungry DemocRats and their wussy/pussy counterparts, the RINOs. If there IS any justice in this universe, they will all be roasting on a spit in Hell some day soon....
maybe sooner than they think.
