This is just plain stupid. Never ending. Please. Even the depression had an ending. This will be over in two to three years.

Sometimes depressions lead to Dark Ages. Ask any Roman. No Roman from 500AD lived to see the end of that Great Depression.

That is my fear.

If our country experiences a prolonged recession/depression I’m not sure our current “why is this taking so long” population will get it.

An open door for major political change and the end of our country as we know it.

I’d very much like to learn more about this. What Roman great depression in 500 AD? I am aware of the fall of Rome by the barbarian hordes around this time. But I am not aware of an economic depression then.
