I am neither an economic analyst nor do I care to be an alarmist but when are we going to face the facts that the good old days are gone at least for some time? There will always be pockets that thrive in any situation; however, this financial situation is global and much more dispersed due to technological evolution. Compare the impact around the world to what has happened in the depression and I believe you will find the concentration of relative proportion. Let's not be all doom and gloom, there remains much positive elements that we can build on. For starters, let's keep our elders out of prison. It hurts when we see them bagging groceries at the market when they should be enjoying their golden years. Golden years... remember those? Something many of us may have been looking forward to. Robbing banks should not be a method of obtaining 3 squares a day and at least a bed to lay your head in. For some it may be better than $6.50 per hour at the local Wal-Mart while your bank is evicting you and is dishing out billions in bonuses so their executives so they can live it up in foreclosed mansions. “Depression,” relative proportion, 30 Million Americans out of work, spiraling deficits, bank bailouts, hundred of thousands of foreclosures and many more coming and now we shall start to see the societal impact as well as strain on our court and penal system.
