OT-OT
But it was VERY bad, Mr. ahhaha....WWI veterans marched on Washington D.C. and were rousted out by our own Army...we had 25% unemployment...the Communist Party picked up 30% of the vote in some U.S. elections in the early 1930's....demogagues like Huey Long were elected to office, just so that SOMETHING would get done...farms failed at a rate that makes today's rates pale. Patently unconstitutional measures were taken (NRA, banning gold owenership) is desperate attempts to keep a lid on things. Yes, the "Grreeeaaaatttt Depression" was very, very bad.

We barely held on by our fingernails to the Constitution. How lucky were we? Look at what happened in France in the 1930's...in England....in Germany. What did we have to do to recover? Just fight World War II--250,000 dead, millions injured--was that bad or good?

So if Mr. Greenspan is laboring mightily to avoid all that madness happening again, sir, I propose a toast to the man--"To Allan Greenspan's health!!"

And I ask you, ahhaha--do you really want to go there again?
