Andy does not know what he is talking about. In the depression there were no food stamps, housing assistance, etc. These were mainly started in 1969 under Johnson. If it wasn''t for these programs there would be food lines as in the depression. Where I live, food banks are running out of food regularly, the increase in demand at the soup kitchens is at least 10% per year, and reportedly at least one person in over 4.5 million people go to bed hungry every night.

I would think that frnk1231 is not happy with the old faarrt Andy joking about this not even being a recession.
This may be all funny to Andy but to many the reality is they are losing houses, jobs, cutting back on ESSENTIALS, and more.
Guess to some like Andy and the CBS 60 minute crew it is all funny.
No Andy it isn''t a recession and it isn''t the president''s fault so let''s just step over it all.
Hurry and roll the windows up in the car, here comes another homeless beggar looking for a handout.
