1) Home foreclosures at record high; 2) Wall Street lost almost 50% of its value in the last 6 months. 3) Fuel costs hit $4.00+ per gallon of gasoline before economy downturn brought price down; 4) Unemployment has not even topped out yet; 5) Big Three near bankruptcy; 6) Banks failing in record numbers with bailout costs pushing $8 trillion; 7) Treasury bill paying about 1%, lowest ever; 8) Credit locked up by banks who've accepted bailout funds and used them to buy other banks;
And you've used statistics? Lies, damn lies and statistics. I lived through the Carter years. This is a lot worse. And I've spoken to several individuals who lived through the Depression - and they believe we've entered Great Depression II. But, of course, the current administration won't even admit we're in a recession. If admitting you have a problem is the first step to rehabilitation, we've not taken the first step.
