You Have to see how many people are starving and the amount of urban strife there is in American cities, ghettos, and rural communities!. There are more poor people In America than the the total population of some third world countries!. No health care, no housing, no education!. Literally dieing in the streets!.
The dollar has lost a third of its value!.
The national debt is unfathomable!.
No oil, polluted farm land, no natural resources!.
Even Russia doesn't want you guys any more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

~Only people with no knowledge of what caused the last Great Depression would think that it isn't possible to happen again!. The last Great Depression started in the U!.S!. with the collapse of the stock market and spread world-wide!. But the financial trouble that caused it started well before "Black Tuesday", October 29, 1929!.

If you want to know what will happen, read some books on the Great Depression and you'll get an idea!. Sadly, the hardest hit in this country will be the poor, the elderly, those people with mortgages and other debts including credit card debt, people who are living above their means and people who have no savings!. also, people who are use to eating out all the time and buying prepackaged foods who don't know how to cook from scratch will be in real trouble!. If you don't know how to cook, grow your own food and to preserve it, mend and sew your own clothes, you might want to start learning now!.

Once the idealism, struggle for social justice, the back-to-nature and communal sharing philosophy of the "we can change the world" generation of 1960's ended and the greed and materialism of the 1980's set in, the "Me First" mentality became the mainstay of this country for many people and corporations!. The ideals of ethics and social justice as a philosophy and a way of life were replaced by wanton materialism, self-indulgence and corruption!.

We will survive this economic fall!? Who knows!. Will it change the greed, materialism and corruption within our society!? One can only hope!.

But in the meantime, pretend you are preparing for a long term hurricane and start stocking up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The U!.S!.A!. survived one depression and we can do it again! We are very resilient and we will find solutions to this economic mess and stop it from happening,if we get a democrat in the white house!. Let's face it, every MODERN republican has messed up the country and/or led it to war!. What happened to the party!?!?!?They helped make this country what it is today now they have turned into an evil killing monster hellbent on killing the nation!. Hey democrats do a way better job, Bill Clinton got the government budget balanced!. He's just one example!. Bush proves the fact that modern republicans ruin the country!. Seriously who voted for him!?!?!?Let alone a second time!?!?!?!? I think they got this stuff rigged!. McCain will win and the country will die!. I wanted Hillary to be president but I guess I will have to settle for Obama!. At least he's a democrat!. Please don't be dumb and vote for Bush's twin, John McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't kill the country!. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the question, We will survive as we have specialists to go over this stuff!. Probably a whole bunch of government divisions dedicated to this economic crisis!. The new bill, the $700 Billion thing I think is basically rewarding those companies for ripping people off!. I think the government should first take over those companies like they did with FreddieMac and FannieMae and AIG then give them the money so that crap doesn't happen again!. Like I said I think it's a reward for them to get that loan from the Fed,they get to keep going and doing whatever they want for the "sake of the countries financial system!."

I hope some retarded country attacks us so we can pull together as one and kick the crap outta them like we did in WWII and rally together except I hope their isn't a draft!. So don't vote for McCain I swear I read somewhere he said he wants to bring back the draft!. :(

I don't want to die!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
