6. I agree that it is worse than the Great Depression - we have new problems to deal with.

And back then we had cheap resource (energy, etc) that made it easier to get out of the mess. Today that is not true. But there are some good things that in another way make it actually better today. Back then we did not have welfare, health care, social security or food stamps. What help there was back then was very limited.

I think Bernie is great and I very much want him to win. But it was a joy today to lay our a plan to get out of this mess like no one else has for a long time.
