Reply #74: The DU stories are almost endless... [View All]

from both the owners/operators of small businesses and individuals who have always found jobs to keep their families going. I see little difference between the depression years of the 30s and today except for the superficial changes in life patterns caused by technological changes(i.e.,small businesses instead of small family farms that have or will failed/fail).

The story patterns are all similar...people cannot find work to keep their heads above water.

Liked the suggestions...but have thought that $10,000 to every adult in the country making less than $35,000/year would at least be an immediate kickstart to a dead economy. Tax breaks, favorite 'tool' of politicians aren't worth spit when cash is needed.

Some sort of govt. interference with factory offshoring...disallow American manufacturers to import their 'foreign' made goods to the US. High tariffs on foreign goods. Force the corporations that have offshored to pay the regular salaries/wages to the employees they have terminated for as long as they remain offshore.

Sorry Billy...son is a musician and is in the same boat with dreams of going into the field you are in.
