Your County in the Great Depression

1. Browsing through the photos, the crushing poverty and misery of American citizens

during the Great Depression was an appalling, but preventable catastrophe. Those images look no different than the photos we see today of some wretched third world countries and disaster zones. Remember how quickly we fell into the Great Recession, and how Obama worked tirelessly to stop it?

Now, seeing all the shortsighted, get rich(er) quick schemes and frenetic deregulation efforts of the Republicans, we might all end up just as destitute as our forefathers of that era. If Republicans steer us into a second Great Depression, there's no one, not a one of them, who would know how to stop it.
