This is what I wonder: during the depression, did people feel so much economical despair as they do these days? is it the same (but different), or is it completely and totally different? you know? like, despite the reasons for the economic 'downs,' is it different just because it's happening to US? When you ponder the philosophy of it all, it can get 'deep.' No matter who wants to blame whom, it doesn't change the fact that it's not happening to that particular person alone, it's happening to every single one of us. Even the gazillionares are dwindling down to their last billions lol I laugh, but it's true, partially, I think, because they don't know how to budget because they've never had to (or at least for the self-mades, they've not had to for quite a while)Debbie Hewitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453432428504085579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415755655983576014.post-60655788471195248012012-03-22T19:17:25.810-05:002012-03-22T19:17:25.810-05:00My thoughts exactly.

My Mom said she heard it, and her grandmother heard the same thing back in the early 1900's, so you might figure every generation back to biblical times and probably even before has been hearing it. <br /><br />That said, I do have some concerns about the state of America. I keep reminding myself we've gone through bad times, even economic collapses before and came out intact. I'm sure people then said the same thing I say now, "But it's different nowadays". <br />Now, we don't have the same morals, and the "PC" thing has been hammered into us, and anyone speaking up and standing up for their rights are vilified as a Religious nut, racist, or right-wing extremist.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788311731697231165noreply@blogger.com
