The similarities between this depression and the the great depression are eerie. There was also a great drought 4 years into the last one. The difference this time is there were already lots of government relief programs going on during normal times. Imagine the same 2008 crisis with not food stamps, welfare, and other programs. If the government measured unemployment the same way they did in the 30’s then we would be seeing similar numbers to the great depression. And the government is trying the same policies of spending to remedy the situation.

The other big difference is the family structure.

1932 to 2012 is 80 years ~ well within and very near the 85 year parameter for a Great Drought.

China has them on roughly the same cycle. It's a solar phenomenon.

We already are seeing numbers ‘similar’ to the Great Depression, even with Obama and the corrupt media’s false accounting.

23% ...(who knows what the number is of those that aren’t even counted?)
