Don Braby

I was born and raised on a dairy farm in the 60s and 70s in the great state of Iowa. My dad Burrell, who served in WWII, was a teenager during the Great Depression in the 1930s. He was 14 when the stock market crashed in 1929. But before he passed away in 1998, I remember talking with him about America's future. He thought America was destined for hard times after the turn of the century. He had the same negative feelings of America’s unraveling that he experienced in the late twenties. I appreciate my dad for serving our country and giving me the tools to succeed in life. I enjoy writing about history and economics. It’s amazing to see how they blend together. America is unraveling and is about to enter the next season. Fall is trying to hang on but winter will come.
