Is life today more difficult than it was in the 1930's?

Sadly, many people think that life actually is harder today. Its very easy to prove those people wrong. First of all, as you can see in the picture families were starving to death. As in the picture, that's the average family in that time. How
often do we see whole families in that condition?
Fathers couldn't afford to feed their families daily. Today individuals say that is the toughest times ever because of all immigration laws that have been occurring. It is indeed, a tough time today, but it will never compare to those times when innocent children had to pay a country's debt. In the 1930's the banks ran out of money and people didn't have a guarantee to get their money back, so if you were to late to pick your money up " Too Bad!" After the U.S. stabilized economically, the banks now had federal backup in case of another depression, everybody had a guarantee to get money back. during the great depression, the highest unemployment rates erupted. Never in U.S. History have they been so high. Those are some of the many reasons why life back in the 1930's was amazingly harder. Do you still think that your life is harder than the people in the 1930's?
