Quote
Mom's family were like the Waltons in that they were quite well off, but there was very little cash available for extras. My father in law said that they never went hungry, but cash even for repairs was hard to come by.
During the depression, my grandparents lost a farm just for that reason. They had good crops but it was all barter. There was no cash available. When the $200 mortgage came due, they couldn't sell their crops for enough cash to pay it. The banks weren't reasonable. They caused it all in the 1st place.

It was also the reason that criminals like Bonnie and Clyde had lots of sympathy and help. They were hitting the banks that were causing people the misery. If they hadn't had a habit of killing cops, they would have had a lot more sympathy and quite possibly would have never got caught.
