Well the Mormon's have been saying it for years... but isn't that a bit like me predicting a war in Iraq? It started a while ago... I mean I know the Dow had a REALLY good day the other day and gas prices have been dropping for a week or so, but aside from this week, hasn't the economy been in a slump for a couple of years?
edit: And I know a slump is different from a recession, but I know I heard all this talk about being in a recession on the news talk shows, so when exactly was that recession considered "over" - cus I certainly didn't hear about it...
uh oh guys is this going to be the sequel to the great depression
No, the Great Depression probably can't happen again for lots of reasons. One of them being the existance of the FDIC.

It's spelled "fascist":

And there's no law preventing the Great Depression from happening again. However it won't be like last time because our next depression will mark the dissolution of America (specifically the Constitution).
America *has* to be dissolved to make way for the emerging global government.

Well, he's not that smart... but you gotta admit, it is kinda fun to see what he'll say next.

Sorry, when I said "depression", I should clarify:
The recession coming this/next year is just the beginning. It will grow into a depression.

Of course.And there's no law preventing the Great Depression from happening again.
Uh hu, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. How are you so sure? You read one article, and decide that you are an expert on economics. The world economy has experienced recessions before. So no matter how much you hate it, the United States will not simply disappear from existance because of a recession. It's a natural part of the economy. You might as well have told CProg to start hiding money under thier mattresses.However it won't be like last time because our next depression will mark the dissolution of America (specifically the Constitution). [...] it will grow into a depression
The economy also has nothing to do with democracy AFAIK.
The dissolution of America was just my opinion.
It's based on my impressions of American citizens. I feel certain that Americans will not tolerate freedom when faced with economic hardship.

That article equates to one man's opinion on the current status of the stock market and his predictions for the future.
To get a much broader view you would have to consult many many sources concerning the issue and when you do so I believe you will find that the theories presented in the article would come under heavy fire from many people. You would also find some that might agree with him.
However basing your entire economic viewpoint on one article is not smart. Economics is a huge field with a lot of differing opinions floating around, just like pretty much everything else.
With the release of the XBox and PS2 there were magazines predicting doom and gloom for the PC, especially because MS got into the console battle. But we see again that the PC
doomsday predictions have not come true.
Interesting note in my local paper today was that gas prices have dropped, not due to the market, but due to oil companies and OPEC losing money due to falling demand. Falling demand in the middle of summer in the US? So the doomsday oil predictions won't come true either because the prices will have to drop if people stop buying it because they cannot afford it. At the point that the prices are so high no one can buy it, they will fall significantly, that is, if by that time alternate energy sources and fuel have not made significant inroads into the economy. Oil will run itself out of business long before we run out of oil. Again, doomsday predictions are wrong.
Doom and gloom is rarely, if ever, the complete truth.
And time to get out of debt eh? When is there NOT a good time to get out of debt? Do you have any idea what percent of the population here in the U.S. is in debt to either credit card companies, loan companies, etc, etc? Guess what chief? Debt is what makes our economy tick. If everyone stopped buying items because they did not want a loan or payment per month, I bet the market would go belly up quickly.
Your type of reactionary rhetoric is exactly what caused the Great Depression. A perceived scare or threat in the economy can wreak havoc, even if it is an incorrect perception.
