I'd bet on it. s/m

but it won't be a repeat of the 30's Great Depression.  It will be soooo much worse that I can't even imagine.  My parents went through the Great Depression and the stories I heard were horrific.  Dad was a farmer and couldn't even sell what he produced because no one had any money.  He didn't have a mortgage to pay either.

The only bright spot I can see is maybe when the real depression hits maybe we'll get immigration reform and they'll send all the illegals back where they came from and MAYBE then American citizens can take jobs at minimum wage.  Speaking of which, I noticed the other day while I was in Fayetteville that a well-known buy here-pay here car lot had taken down their English sign and replaced it with a Spanish sign.  This area is so overloaded with Mexicans one feels like they are in a foreign country....thanks to big business and their demand for cheap labor.  Low income people, as people on here have called "low-lifes" used to  man the poultry plants at low wages.  Now they don't even hire whites. It is said that one of these businesses actually hauls the illegals in a bus to sign up for food stamps and housing assistance.  Try to get into an emergency room in this area!!!! 

The "low-life" class has been brought on by the demand for even cheaper labor so they may as well stay home and collect welfare, it's probably more profitable.
