Red...the 1980's Farm Crisis was one of the best educations I've had in life.....even though I was only 17 years old. Dad lost his machinery and about half the land, BUT, some how survived and 25 years later is doing better than ever at the age of 73. It's funny when it was the farmers in trouble, I don't even remember hearing the word "BAIL OUT"! It taught me to go into every business deal expecting the worst to happen, and anything good that came out of it was gravy. Anyone else remember those days?
CAB said:Brad, I started on my own in 1979. Thought that when I was through the early 80s that I had survived the worst that it could get. That 20% interest I think haunted my family for almost 20 years. Then the .08 hogs finish me off in 1998. I didn't file bankruptcy, but often have wondered if I should have. There were a lot of one day @ a time here & Brad I know that you know just what I'm talking about beings you lived watching your folks deal with the circumstances that they found themselves in. It's part of what makes you a better promoter/person than some. Character was built through those tough times along with a big dose of compassion.
Did anyone watch the 60 minutes segment that was showing the tent cities that are springing up around the country with folks that were upper middle-class folks less than one year ago? Sold off everything, had kids, living in make shift @ best tents. They can keep calling this a recession, but most of us know, and those in the tents damn well know this is beyond recession. Did anyone see the economist slip up today on the Today show and called it depression/oops, recession?
