I am preparing a speech to explain BLACK MONDAY (1929) in America.
What were the economic conditions and mood at that time?
With the country experiencing "all the BOOMING conditions" with such high prosperity at every corner, I want to learn what were the "underlying factors" that CAUSED the *bust.*
And........... What was the DJIA value at that time (pre-bust)?
I know that the DJIA dropped 503 points on that day.

OPEC says they don't have a supply issue but every news that comes out is says global regions are concerned about supply constraints. Is OPEC deliberately controlling supply and therefore can maintain control on pricing or is the world's oil really running out? It doesn't seem like Venezuela has a supply problem but that is more political.

The US limits the amount of sugar being imported into the country while allowing domestic prices for sugar to be more than twice as high as the world market price. In addtion, 70,000 to 10,000 jobs were lost from 1997 to 2003 because companies that use sugar as an input relocated to other countries to escape the high domestic sugar prices. Sugar is better grown in other countries and produced at a cheaper price. It costs 3 billion to 8 billion dollars to irrigate the Everglades to produce sugar which is paid for by tax dollars. Why did the US ever have these quotas put in the first place?

Our U.S. dollar value is declining I have some knowledge on why but I wonder what everyday consumers and the U.S. public can do to help increase the value? Any ideas and any resources anyone would know would be helpful.

Their Trojan Horse technique of attacking capitalism from within and letting it destroy itself through the weight of its own greed and irresponsibility. Had Reagan not meddled with the regulations that protected us from capitalism and capitalism from itself, this might have been avoided, but since when have conservatives been willing to listen to reason?

Comments? :)
