—SIGH—Of course, I knew what you were saying; I just thought that it was an odd way of wording it.
Yes, people have always worried about the future but this time it seems that there is much more of a basis for concern. We are definitely at the beginning of a depression, what with unemployment rates in excess of 15 percent—maybe more. We have never faced government deficits on the order of what is transpiring today. And we all should know that this precedes horribly high inflation rates.
People should worry because things could become horribly worse. It’s just the intervention of government (unemployment insurance, food stamps, etc.) that is temporarily shielding people from the truth of their economic circumstances.
I am particularly thankful that I am not a grandfather with grandchildren facing an economic and political future that could be very difficult to live through.
In summary: we just disagree, Amberdawn.
Yes, we do disagree.
