We are a hair away from the Second GILDED AGE........but with a whole new set of ROBBER BARRONS,.........And the Second great depression like the first Gilded Age and Robber Barrons brought on.........

I hadn't re read Steinbeck's GRAPE OF WRATH, since the 8th grade, so recently I re-read it..........This time I was horrified, and chilled to the bone, when I re-read it, sixty years later .............
