I rememeber the 80's recession and there was all this talk about that being the "next great depression" . Yes it was hard BUT that is the nature of economics, we have ups and downs. AND we can't always ALWAYS always expect it to be "UP". There spread of doom and gloom everywhere you turn seems to make everything 110% worse then it actually needs to be. I know there are A LOT of people out there who have had a series of bad luck events occur in your life, however, this is the case every other year with or without a ression. The only difference is the everyday people going through hard times when there ISn'T a ression dont get to tell their story on the cover of a national newspaper for everyone to see and relate too.... Get it... GREAT : ) We have all seen hard times, and while it’s hard right now – it always seem hardest when your in the thick of it.

I work for a small 3 man shop. The owners have run this shop for 25 years. We are struggling from "paycheck" to "paycheck" and many of our customers either pay late, or are out of business and won't be paying at all. The only bright side is that most of our competitors are going out of business too (bright side is - we're getting their customers - it's not so bright on the part of those businesses). This economy is terrible and yet the tax men (all of them; local, state, fed) won't give us a break. While at the same time, the city of Denver is giving tax breaks to Frontier/Southwest airlines. Are they kidding me? The small biz is about to be a thing of the past in the good ol' US of A. I hope we're proud of ourselves. Small biz? I work for a small 3 man shop.

I know something about the underlying issues, but the bottom line is that it is all about distribution of data and methods--resources, productivity and products. The money thing is just a way to keep things somewhat organized. The Khazars know how to keep us in usury bondage. We know how to stay out of it but chose not to. So that's how it is. I've lost a lot over the years worrying about the way things go. As long as the house of cards doesn't collapse it's still a roof over your head. Balance the truth with the lies and stay within our circle of concern--what else can we do? A little koolaid now and then might not kill you--just don't do the Jim Jones thing... @Eric

But, what does a single mother who has sold her home 3 years ago do when she is renting a home and is primarily in cash? What happens when the dollar is worth NOTHING and I don't have money to pay my rent? If I bought a house now, even if the value goes down, at least I will have a roof over my kid's head, no? Thoughts? Okay, Dr. Bubble, I agree with your take on how much worse our economy and housing market will get….
