We have heard (and perhaps said ourselves) that we are in one of the toughest financial times since the Great Depression. There is no doubt that American businesses and the public at large is hurting, notably when compared to more robust economic times. But as my family and I go to the restaurant, grocery stores or malls, I see people shopping, lined up at check out and spending money.

Times may be more difficult than 5 or 10 years ago, but the point is that hard times today are not the same as hard times of the Depression 80 years ago.<\/span><\/p>
