The thing is...we've managed to keep the MANY from starving, which wasn't the case in 1932. Today, there are soup kitchens, but no bread lines. Today, the unemployed want only to work ON THEIR TERMS. In THEIR FIELD. No longer will men leave home to stay in a work camp to rebuild roads and bridges...and even more sadly, those building the bridges and roads don't want workers who are inexperienced. We citizens have gotten too big for our britches. Back then, a job was a job. For some noble few, that is still true, but as long as government keeps just "extending" unemployment, there is no reason to work. Unemployment has become "respectible" welfare.
