“See, I never heard that word ‘depression’ before. They would all just say ‘hard times’ to me. They still are.” ~Roger, a 14 year old boy from Chicago quoted in Studs Terkel’s “Hard Times”
Hard times. Our time. Couldn’t be a more appropriate sobriquet. And it’s not just about money being hard today. Because after the money gets a bit easy, the times are still going to be hard.
