Benjamin Roth: The Great Depression: A Diary
It's all here, times change people don't
-the endless govt programs that fail to stimulate the private sector
-the ups and downs of the economy, the veterans pension stimulates just as the housing credit did, until of course the money runs out
-Roth is a attorney in Youngstown Ohio who kept a diary regarding the economy from 1930 until WW II breaks out, he is objective, candid, and forthright which is more than we get from Washington DC now or then

It's being called the biggest IPO of the year and I'm eager to see what actually comes about versus the speculation. Many are comparing this to Google and Apple but like one article I read, it stated my thoughts exactly, "The primary difference is that Google is a service, while Facebook is a vice. People go to Google when they need to. They go to Facebook when they want to." I really think these three can not be categorized in the same category but who knows? Maybe FaceBook will be 3x more exepensive than Google once it goes public. I'll wait and see.
