Picture is not from the depression. It is from 1948.
Prohibition, dear. About the same as drug cartels these days.And? We still have looters, but they loot when they're well fed these days.OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 20 (AP)-A crowd of men and women, shouting that they were hungry and jobless, raided a grocery store near the City Hall today. Twenty-six of the men were arrested. Scores loitered near the city jail following the arrests, but kept well out of range of fire hoses made ready for use in case of another disturbance.
The police tonight broke up a second meeting of about one hundred unemployed men and arrested Francis Owens, alleged head of the "Oklahoma City Unemployed Council," who was accused of instigating the raid.
During the Great Depression, is when a lot of our worst criminals in history appeared. There was a very sharp rise in crime. People who are destitute and desperate will do what they have to do for survival.

In Mexico they call them cartels. In Chicago they call them gang bangers. The people doing the selling are doing pretty well, but they're selling misery to their customers, most of whom are poor already. Want me to subsidize their heroine habits now?Prohibition, dear.

Where do the drug cartels come from? Mexico and other 3rd world countries. Getting it yet?

Borrowing MORE money (on the taxpayer dime) to create a defense industrial complex bubble like Raygun did? No thanks.WASHINGTON -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will lay out a vision of American foreign policy on Wednesday aimed at pushing his nascent 2016 presidential campaign out of the shadow of his father and brother, two former presidents who waged overseas wars.
"I love my father and my brother … But I am my own man –- and my views are shaped by my own thinking and own experiences," Bush will say in a speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, according to excerpts provided to reporters late Tuesday night.
In his first major foreign policy address, the likely 2016 Republican front-runner will make the case for increased military spending so America can "project power and enforce peaceful stability in far-off areas of the globe." He will also criticize President Barack Obama's foreign policy, calling it "inconsistent and indecisive."
"Having a military that is equal to any threat ... makes it less likely that we will need to put our men and women in uniform in harm’s way," Bush plans to tell attendees, adding that he believes "fundamentally, that weakness invites war… and strength encourages peace."
The idea that a bigger U.S. military would act as a bigger deterrent to potential foes is one that reached its apex during the Cold War, but has been repeatedly challenged in the 21st century by the rise of global terrorism and sectarian conflicts.

So, Jeb plans to ride the boogeyman to the White House. More Bush fearmongering and warmongering.

They were poor and did terrible things. THAT is the point. Poor desperate people will do terrible things. What don't you understand about this fact?

Of course, had she been resold, the article would likely relate that to elicit more sympathy.
I'm done, Chris. I like you and am frustrated by your desire to continue failed policy without entertaining a drastic change. I'll back off before I say something I'll regret.

It doesn't even matter. The point is, people who are destitute and desperate WILL sell their children, will turn to prostitution and crime.

There are tons of charitable organizations out there, but they just can't do enough. Not in a country of over 300,000 million people.
