Black Tuesday may have plunged the United
States into the Great Depression but it was a sense of
hopelessness; the feeling that nothing one could personally do
would improve things that kept us in that depression until WW2. The
American Dream is a nightmare. Worse, for most Americans it turned
out to be a cruel lie. A mortgage is just another form of rent;
your home can still be taken from you with the flick of a banker's
wrist or eminent domain.
Americans are worse than broke, they are
discouraged. The bailout sent a clear message that no matter how
hard you work, the government can plunge you into deeper debt with
the stroke of the pen or the vote of a congress inextricably linked
with Wall Street itself.
