I feel this country is in for a real big depression then after that it will start getting like the futuristic movies we see where we will have to fight for stuff....it will just get worse and worse....does anybody else feel this way?

sometimes I do. These are scary times for sure.

It doesn't look good that's for sure

I am a little scared as well...need a big strong man to protect and feed me....and love me and squeeze me and call me George...

I feel that way sometime but I also know that we a americans are surviors so im not to worried

this would do for sure...

Pssssst,,WE ARE LIVING A DEPRESSION NOW!!!
Our government just CAN'T SAY that word.....
And YES,,,WE will get a lot more DOWN, before we can get up...

Yep, that's what I'm talking about....what a hunk....bet he was a player...

it is kind of funny-- someone recently said to me "why are you spending money?"
i guess it has not hit me...i am blessed with a great job and recently got a raise

I know...shhhhhh.........

I gotta a game for him...

The general populous isn't even close to being aware of what's ahead. If we end up going through another depression, it'll be of GLOBAL scale and not one limited to our shores. Thirty years of what we now call "Globalization" has resulted in speculation and thievery of a GLOBAL scale- it just won't be one country to fall, but whole blocks of countries. And it'll get pretty messy too, as people fight for whatever resources they can get their hands on.

Yep I kinda agree...hope that it won't get too bad...but hope never did a damn thing...did she..

Nope. Only smart and decisive action on the part of our elected officials can. Unfortunately, since most of them are either on-the-take or are too busy arguing along partisan lines, that isn't likely to happen.

Fear itself could do it, but I actually see progress. I expected the dow to be as low as it is, but wouldn't be surprised if by mid year it'll be back up to 10,000 and more stable. It's really not a corporate market, and lower overhead companies are sprouting up, at least in my industry. I'm actually seeing a 63% growth over last quarter, and this is exceptionally good, since Q1 of any business generally reflects 20% of the year's earnings. Corporate markets are mainly suffering because of corporate overhead, with the luxuries based corporations suffering the most. About the only market's that I'd expect to thrive are the ones that also sell necessities, at least for this year. There is much truth evidenced today that supports the cliche, "The bigger they are..."

It's best not to dwell upon what might or might not happen.

Would have worked out better if Bush didn't throw a gazillion dollars of our taxes into the stock market...it would have balanced itself out given time, we are just an impatient civilization.

Everyone is tooting their own melody and it sounds like ****. This anarchy song would be a nice change.

OMG!!! LMFAO!!!!!
