Car and radio ownership was much higher during the Great Depression than in 1914 both in USA and Germany. What does it prove? One of two: either the author is an idiot or he thinks that his readers are idiots. Or both.

Hey thanks for the alert.
Don't ya think that color TV, hot tubs, jet travel and cell phones are more numerous today than a generation ago? On the other hand, my wife did not work when raising the kids but today my son's wifes and my daughters are all working.
Anyway, the comparison is not a generation ago, it is 4 years ago. People will decide in November if the last 4 years has reduced the nation's economic and terrorist fears. At this point, I vote No and No.

That car and radio ownership quote is hysterical.
I feel like a teenager and want to say "Well,duh".

Thanks for the ping.
The American Dream is proving pretty hard to put back together. Humpty Dumpty and all of that.
