"Just imagine how a Great Depression will play out now, with such a monstrous dependent class. Cities would be looted and burned to the ground."

Agreed. At a time of a not so united country basking in all it's multiculturalism. Very unlike the 1930's.

It depends on whether or not the Gubmint went so broke that it could not continue paying protection money to all. There is so much of it, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Food Stamps, Public Assistance, WIC, pensions ....gawd, it’s endless. Hyperinflation would have the same effect. If all that were to collapse, holy cow, watch out.....when people get really hungry and thisty....Donner Party, with guns, clubs, and knives.....

What's coming can better be likened to an asteroid impact. The depression occurred while most Americans were rational, moral and un-multicultural. And, there weren't muslim hordes on our shores. We have become a nation of chatterers and dope addicts. I've even turned into a hyperbolic.

People in the 30's were also more independent. They could hunt or grow and can their own food....and many did for the most part. Today's metrosexual males would not even know where to start to change their own oil.
