  • Why Aren't We Undergoing Another Great Depression? [View article]
    There were plenty of "depressions" prior to the Great Depression. However, there is not much point in measuring it based upon non-farm employment. Practically everyone was employed on the farm. Considering that most of them were subsistance farmers, a depression could not take them down much, could it?

    Thanks to the highly efficient farmers in the US today, the remainder of the population is able to create less essential services than food, and has no need to be concerned with their own subsistance. Isn't America simply GREAT?

    We. Want. Something. Here. NOW.
