We all need to take a deep breath, straighten our backbones and go through what the folks went through in the 1930s.

Unfortunately, what folks went through in the 30s was a grand repurposing of the federal government towards socialism, entitlements, nanny-statism, and an outright confiscation of Constitutional money, namely gold. I have little faith that things will turn out much better in this, the era of the ME ME ME generation.

And that slouch towards socialism prolonged the depression into a ten year disaster that only a world war could shake us loose from. And guess what? Into all this congress is poised to raise our taxes! That's sure to help things!
