Uh, no one from the Baby Boomer middle class will ever be employed by Wal-Mart (well, maybe them) or McD's or Waffle House.

Unless of course you're referring to the Mexican baby boom of 1960 - 1990....

It’s sad, I remember my grandfather telling me of the First Great Depression. I guess I will have to compare my notes with his in this Second Great Depression. Never thought I would see the day.

Maybe our trading partners will extend some charity by feeding us and deciding not to attack us.

[...little irony, sarcasm and sardonic humor there. I really haven’t even come close to saying what I know regarding the economy, defense, public opinion as stated by the elites and US leadership in general. Americans are ejected from political parties, fired from their jobs and otherwise silenced for really speaking up.]

If you are short the market and long on silver and gold then life isn’t completely bad. Some day it will turn and folks will be buying low.

..."baby boomers with calloused hands...50% reduced portfolios!" ROFL!

Every day Obama and his cronies say the word Crisis, and they wonder why nobody is spending.

Thanks for the change RATs.

I’m not yet convinced. So far I think the “crisis” is a little oversold. I think the libs *need* belief in the crisis to get their dream agenda.

That said, things may well suck for a while. But the thing the libs fear most is that the economy might start to recover too early. Before they get all their socialism in place.

But I’m choosing not to participate. For now. Except of course to stockpile ammo. :-)

Right now, we are in nothing even approaching The Great Depression. Conservatives need to start speaking positively and confidently reject this great Depression rhetoric. Once we are all convinced of this, the Socialists will have won.

Just as FDR used it to introduce a ton of Socialism into America, so too, will Obama. Hopeychangey has changed his tone and his rhetoric. His propagandists are working overtime to utilize this to their advantage. It will not matter how bad things are under his “reign” if he is seen as the one whose Socialist programs can save us. The problem is that none of his programs will work because they have all been tried before and they invariably fail. We must neutralize the Rats and disallow them talking us into misery and mayhem for their own nefarious purposes.

I’m actually getting pretty scared. If I don’t find a job before my severance runs out, I will be in serious trouble.

I call it the "Not so Great Depression."

I call it that because I don't think people will learn from it.

The people is stupid now!

Better slaves that way.

I’m still hoping for a Good Depression and not a Great Depression. Let’s think small this time.

BS. I went through the early ‘80s while Reagan tried to stabilize the post-Carter economy and implement his changes. It looked hellish at first, and the press was almost universally negative, but in a couple of years, things were on their way up.

I’m not saying Obama has anywhere near the ability Reagan had, but — as Reagan would tell you — the American people do.

I have faith we’ll muddle our way out of this.
