  2. I don't need a bolt of lightning from heaven to know we are in a depression. The question is whether or not we'll see more price inflation (so that nobody can pay for the essentials, let along buy extras).

    Next question is whether or not we're stupid enough to give power to the Republicans, who will ram through more austerity programs. That will put us into a severe depression along with religious restrictions on how we live--brought to you by those wonderful Christians who believe they HAVE heard from on high.

  3. austerity done wrongly is the problem. can't continue to spend beyond our means, but in making cuts it is always the trend to cut from...those who aren't connected..to bailout the banks and bondholders..even shadow banking risk. spend sanely, ban derivatives-all types, banks take all their losees, fold if they can't make it, other local banks can fill the spot, smaller gov, ban lobbying, enforce sec regs and on gov memebers..and many other things, near endless list...question is will that happen? what makes up gov these day's? is like asking them to cut off their own legs. austerity, and using that savings to bail banks and bondholders and business as usual for certain segments. almost seems there's no chance huh. sane spending is needed but the using of the savings goes to the populace. examples of austerity done wrong, greece, the Uk, potugal, italy, spain...
    savings goes back to the governed..of the people and for the people...whatever happened to that. yep repubs are terrible, but stop ignoring the dems..different colors of suits out for many of the same goals, read it everyday in factual releases, even lawsuits lol, they speak swooning words and aim for the same goals from different directions sometimes, but the goal..is the goal, not the direction they come from in trying to achieve it.
