If you think this recession is the worst since World War II, chances are you weren't born or working during the downturns of the 1970s and '80s, you're listening to President Obama too much or you're a white-collar worker in financial services.
If all three are true, you may even think we’re on the verge of another Great Depress
“The current situation has nothing in common with the Great Depression,” says economist Steve Hanke of the Cato Institute and Johns Hopkins University. “The sooner they [in Washington] stop spinning the bad news story and say nothing, the sooner we’ll be more confident.”
Call me crazy but the media should carry some of the blame as well as the main culprits.

I wonder where you all live. This being a conspiracy site it might have drawn out a lot of isolated individuals.
Tough love? Horse feathers! Those that should be humbled are those that got us into this mess! The ultra-wealthy. The spoiled rich celebs and their bankers! Scum of the earth swine!
The middle class Americans built this morally bankrupt harbinger of despotism that was the United States of America!
