News states that the economy hasn't been this low since the 1930's! We all know where that led to...THE GREAT DEPRESSON! Months ago I told my bf I believe we are headed for another depression and every time I see more jobs being lost I keep telling myself, "it's happening and no one sees it coming, It's happening!" Now I see this on the news! I think it's there nice way of saying they are worried. Are you? Do you think we will have another Great Depression? Everyone lost jobs, everyone was broke, everyone had to fight to survive. It is very scary, but I believe it will happen again. What do you think, is it going to happen?

The financial sector is most badly hit. Slowly but surely, the other sectors will be hit too. I think the situation is worst in US.
Being in Asia, the situation does not seem as bad. I guess that's because we are no longer as reliant on US as in the past.
Anyway, do be positive. At least now we know there are big flaws in our financial system, it's time for changes!

I don't think it would bother me if it happened because I think if it did we all would be more equal. there would be no poor, medium, rich. We would all just be poor. Don't sound to bad to me.

I hope not. I actually kept thinking about it lately because i thought it was leading to it. I keep hearing it as well. I hope it doesn't happen though because my son is only two and i would not want to see him suffer in any way. He is a happy boy and i am already doing my best to provide for him.
