"So that was the first and major mistake back in the roaring 20's. They never thought of the future. They only saw the right now. The second was to allow people to get into debt so they could live a life the government painted, the ideal American life. Parties, business expansions, investments, modern inventions and growing families.
No one thought about how they were going to feed those children in the long run. No one bothered to save money and were told not to panic. That everything would be fine and it would all work out. Especially when they started the contest." Mrs. Dabney explained.
