Ever ask your Dad if he thought he had it easy....

When the construction business went stagnant in the 70's my dad was out of work for 2 1/2 years....he was an iron worker. Ended up working as a fry cook in the summer and drove a cab at one point....collected as well in the winter.

I didn't go to college yet l have a middle class income. It can still be done. A person can be a tradesman and have a middle class income.....no college needed.

They didn't worry about terrorists but they were still attacked on our own soil during Pearl Harbor......they were paranoid about the red threat and nuclear war in the 50's.

Was life easy during the depression? There's always a challenge.....then and now
