The Federal Reserve Banking System, which was sold as a remedy for cycles of boom and bust (Business men and banksters were more responsible than Legislators to control the money supply, lol), shrank the money supply by at least 50%, thereby guaranteeing a depression. Yes, it's those same fun loving guys who are responsible to todays economic crisis. Will we ever learn?

THE NEXT TIME WILL BE A GLOBAL DEPRESSION
You better to 'rethink' the actual consequences of what's coming.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 228460

The Great Depression was a global depression, fyi.

Heart of the heroes, ride.
Up through an empty house of stars,
Being what heart you are,
Up the inhuman steeps of space
As on a staircase go in grace,
Carrying the firelight on your face
Beyond the loneliest star.
"The Ballad Of The White Horse,"
G. K. Chesterton

This is the generation of that great LEVIATHAN, or rather, to speak more reverently, of that mortal god to which we owe, under the immortal God, our peace and defence.
Thomas Hobbes

They dug graves and ditches for 50 cents a day, or did any kind of work they could find. They ate biscuits and gravy for their one meal a day. They did what they had to do and they learned not to waste anything when the Depression was over.

Many did not!

[link to wiki.answers.com]

The ones who had a good chance of survival were people in the west and midwest who had a ranch or farm with stock, chickens, cows, goats, pigs etc.

My dad said during those years, "we ate alot of meat, and not much else", but they lived.

If we go into a full out deprssion like the 30's, expect milions more deaths, because most people rely on resturants, and markets to live day to day. They will become the new SKINNIES.

They did what they had to do! Grew their own vegetables and fruit, raised and slaughtered their own chickens, pigs etc, they made their own clothes and mended when they could. They cooked everything themselves including bread. They had their shoes "re-soled", made nightgowns and robes out of old bedding. My grandmother said they used to walk the railroad tracks to pick up coal that dropped off of trains.
They bartered for goods when possible. They wasted NOTHING!

they ate spam...lots and lots of spam! Oh, and stuff from their own gardens. Nobody has gardens anymore. Never mind chickens, pigs .....turkey. In short weve lost a lot of self dependence over the last 50 years. But they also had a lot more places to hunt, and usually families were bigger so there was more help when needed. Its a lot different now. Stock up on tuna and spam!
