Depression Memories
Well since Elrod officially declared we are in a depression, I thought I’d pass along this very interesting piece on a memoir of the Great Depression. (H/T Financial Armageddon)

That's a great memoir. Thanks.
BTW, Robert McElwaine's Down and Out in the Great Depression: Letters from the Forgotten Man is a great read too.

On a related note, a 93-year-old sharing her Depression era recipes for stretching food has become quite popular on YouTube.

I have always tried to be a voice of reason in the midst of lunacy at this site. If everyone agrees then I am the one to say But what if. If everyone is opposed then I am the one to say but why not.
It is true………In a fascist state the first thing to be taken from us is rational thought……then rational policy and lastly………rational action.
Rational thought is being beaten to death…keep an eye out for the rational policy as the next to fail us. and then……………….

What exactly is “rational” at this point? Is the economy really not as bad as people make it out to be? Are the underlying fundamentals really stronger than the plunging Dow or the apocalyptic musings from yours truly?
