A repeat of the 30’s is the real risk here. And it may happen, and I’m not a gloom and doomer.
The economy has come to a very sharp pause instantly. Airlines are doing 70% less flights, everyone I know has quit spending money many have lost jobs. All in 2 weeks!

And now interest rates have taken a turn upwards. Thats just very recent, but they could leave the 10 year low rates we have been in.

The Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939.

I was born in 1935 and lived with many relatives and people who suffered the brunt of the depression.

As a kid the depression didn't bother me much since my outlook on life and needs were very limited.(lots of loving family members around.)

The adults were a different story and never seemed to get over the depression even if they lived for another 50 years afterwards. -Tom

And current estimates say 20% to 60% of the population will get the disease ovewr time.

Why post this Federalist garbage?
