They always were thrifty, lived within their means, saved money to buy things, worked hard knowing they could lose their job at the whim of some employer and they believed a good education would save their children from having to struggle so hard. Of course the poor are still (and always) in a Depression and have many of these values.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, the Depression of 2008, will see the return to some of these virtues. If the 700 billion works and saves the status quo, the hard lessons will not be learned. Some day, it will all happen again.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-77373579744841045102008-10-04T21:42:00.000-04:002008-10-04T21:42:00.000-04:00Wall Street bailouts and people living hand-to-mou...Wall Street bailouts and people living hand-to-mouth. Quite the juxtaposition. I wonder what's going to happen with all this crap.<BR/><BR/>On a cheerier note, the hubby and I went apple picking today and came home with a ton of beauties!
