Depression Survival Guide

I certainly do not read the current economic climate to be in as dire a condition as the author states it is, or predicts it will become. Our "at home" industrial diversity and our "global" market positions in nearly every commodity, both as a producer and end product user, provides us an unprecedented protection from deliberate malicious interference in our economy.
Our monetary system is often maligned, misused and misguided by those who are in command to govern such matters; but it is the system that I choose to back my currency; not a gold coin or a silver nickel.
The global community looks to us for leadership and guidance in world economic matters. That "community" will do everything in their financial power to make sure their investments in our dollar remain sound investments.
This article seems to me to be more appropriate if it were addressed to a third world audience, not here in the USA. Not now and not in the foreseeable future.
