Ex-SD: Nice nod to President Hoover there with the “chicken in every pot” reference. And Hillary or Obama, or Rudy or Mitt, will undoubtedly be just as successful as Hoover was in fixing this problem.

I remember my great aunt in Wisconsin telling me a story about the Great Depression when I was a kid. She told me that the attorney who worked in their neighborhood, which was rural/farming, took eggs, chickens, vegetables, etc in exchange for his services.

I bring that up both in reference to Hoover and the Great Depression, as well as wondering just how bad it will get.
