Yeah it could be. People go back to a more “normal” life when they don’t have excess money. I read on a blog that during the Great Depression the health of the average American actually improved.
If you saw how fat many Americans have become over the last 10 years it’s pretty obvious that a severe recession might do the same thing again. A few less trips to the restaurant each week isn’t going to hurt. 😎

Drowssap,
RE: Music & Economy. You know, I think it happened in your country too in the early 80s when Detroit’s auto industry collapsed and people took to going to parties where DJs were playing the new techno music. In times like these, people go back to what makes them connect and think about the future.

Thanks for this Scott.
I think this may be another way of avoiding something that is vague. I posted recently that New Party endorsed candidates had to sign a contract saying they committed to an active relationship with the party.
Also, I am not sure I agree that the New Party was not about public control of production. I am researching this a bit more before I post on it but I think there may be some fudging here.
Also, some would say with reason that universal health care could be a public control of means of production. Would private insurance still be available in their scheme?
