annette..."stock market crash worse then 1929...more money lost" a bizarre article...more money lost because there was more money to be lost... in 1929 you could buy a new car for $400.... its all relative... "mom and pop may not ever be able to retire" and in 1929, mom and pop did not live long enough to retire...and no social security to look forward to... bread was a nickel, but you didn't have a nickel to spend... anyone who compares the quality of life now, even after the recent downturn, against the best quality of life in 1929 can see the obvious... i'm glad i'm not living through the "lesser?" crash of 1929... maybe bush will start civil works projects...get the masses of unemployed to build roads and dams... wonder what the author "william cooper" knows of reality...
