Bravo, Beaglescout! As I posted elsewhere, unemployment reached 25% everywhere in 1932.
By Dec of 1941, (afteralmost 9 years of New Dealing), the national average remained at 14%. However, the favorites of the New Deal were still at 20% plus while those “neglected”
were at not more than 6% to 8%.

Lesson learned? Be damned sure that the socialists don’t like you. You will survive
in much better shape than those whom they “assist”.

I live in Las Vegas, I don’t think casinos are high on the Obamaroids list. I am from the West Texas oil patch. I know the home folks are not in line for largesse. Looks like both my areas will be okay. Don’t know about Wall Street, the auto industry, “renewable” energy etc. Fact is, I think they are screwed.
