Geee I am off by a quarter. Didn’t feel a need to chart it out, I was alive during this period. You have an emotional maturity issue, stating death rays and aliens. These I am not afraid of because surely a more advanced culture would have very little if nothing to do with this planet.
People like you were surely part of the Clinton era mindset that did not believe we had credible threats from Islam. They can attack us with a dirty bombs RIGHT NOW if they choose. The fact is, they fear our retalition under Bush but they surely do not fear the Clinton’s retaliation if she is elected. There was practically no retaliation from Bill Clinton for the first Trade Tower bombing, the USS Cole, the Kenya embassy bombings and on and on. So perhaps I guess I have a fear of whom will be elected POTUS because our adversaries view weak US leadership as a chance to exploit and attack. Throughout history this has always been the case on a global scale. Our country is not infallible, it requires constant dilligence and paying attention. I have not built a nuclear bunker but I surely will pay attention to geopolitics as a risk factor for business.
....... because you are a FOOL. Aliens and Death Rays are REAL, man....!
Look, it's just not as bleak as you want to believe.
Furthermore, my God is such a loving God who is so bountiful, that if there is a Great Depression, I will become an apple millionaire.
BTW: Seven (your recollection) minus four (the facts) equals three.
You nearly doubled the timeframe of recession. This leads me to believe you are prone to overexaggerationaboveandbeyondtoomuch.
