Annalists keep trying to compare the present financial crisis in the United States with the depression in the 1930's. Can't be done. The facts and figures may be similar, however the mind set of the American people is different.
The 1930's-40's and even 50's was a time of great sacrifice. American soil was threatened at the same time we were struggling to feed our families. We were weakened and unprepared for the battle ahead of us.
Yet, we pulled together, we sacrificed, we trusted each other and we trusted our government. We didn't second guess our officials. The media reported not commented. Their agenda was to inform not to manage the news.
We emerged from that time as the leading nation of the world. We had a common goal and we did the impossible.
