Ahead, stretching to the horizon, lies deepest 1932
The Great Depression will be something to aspire to, where even migrant field hands drove cars to work. Actually it doesn’t all lie ahead, some of it is already behind us. Truth is, we arrived a while back. We’re like the Okies in that first month without a good rain, or the laid off employee who thought he was between jobs. The era of hustle and opportunity that lifted all boats ended a long while ago. We’ve fallen below the event horizon. Gravity is in charge now. We’ve entered an era of relentlessly deepening want. In not much time it will beggar belief, then plunge directly to the heart of catastrophe. You’ll never again use the word hungry as lightly as you do now.- - Western Rifle Shooters Association

Chasmatic beat me to the punch. It is Ol' Remus. I WISH that writing was mine.
Keep up all you do, GVDL. It is invaluable.
And never be afraid to draw the conclusions inescapable from the facts you present.
