Actually, Seward bought Alaska for $7.2 million. The people thought he got a bad deal, and Alaska was known as Seward's Folly. Russia can not claim Alaska as we bought it fair and square.
While our economy is bad, it is not as bad as the Great Depression with over 20% unemployment. Also, our banks have insurance, unlike the ones back in the day. There are a lot of social nets out now that did not exist in the 1930s.
