Anyway, that's some good reading to start with, then get back to us.

Also, how does your assurance outrank our opinions and the supporting evidence we present? Show me some news that doesn't show a weak economy. Oil has dropped twice in the last week because of a slowing US economy. Someone recently stated that the US is headed into a "deep recession" and not some douche like Harry Reid, someone who's actually an economist and qualified to make such statements. I'll dig it up if you really want to read it. Anyway, show me something that justifies your hypothesis.

He may have got the decade wrong, but he was right about the similarities. It's on an even larger scale now than it was then. We're globalized baby (almost completely now).

EDIT (hit post too soon)

Anheiser-Busch just got bought out by some European company. The American Beef Industry just got bought up by someone in Brazil to the tune of over 500 BILLION DOLLARS! Remember, these are the same people saying how much they suffered because of ethanol and feeding their cattle, meanwhile, their net worth and profits have been skyrocketing over the last 5 years, and they make half a trillion dollars off it, enough money to pay off approx 1/114 of our projected 53 trillion dollars in obligations we've made as a side note on our economic plight.

We've maxed out our credit cards and all the rich fuckers are abandoning ship and selling out to the monstrosity fascist communistic (you can have both at the same time, if you don't agree you can do your own homework for that one) global state that's forming and expanding each and every day.

Not to mention government bailout after government bailout after government bail out. That's OUR MONEY they're using to prop up false wealth and corrupted corporations. We're spending and spending and spending, and the general population sinks further and further into poverty, while the upper class, investing class, and political class grow in power and control of the resources at hand.

I'm not trying to be a doom and gloomer, but, well.....we're fucked.

my assurance outranks other's opinions becuase i study business and economics at a university. i dont think most people on this board even go to school.

yes, the US economy as slowed down a bit. but that does not mean that we are headed into a recession or a depression. and the slowdown of the US economy has nothing to do with the price of oil. the US economy has been slowing down for the last 5 years. and yet the price of oil went higher. which would contradict you're opinion on the pricing of oil. (and oil has just recently beginning to drop this week. last week it reached it's peak at about 140).

and what Anheuser-Busch being bought out has nothing to do with the well being of the economy. that was strictly a good business decision. and there are thousands of popular companies in the US that were bought out by foreigners. it's not a bad thing. and it's not a good thing. people selling their business doesn't mean their business failed. and infact, selling one's business is irrelevant in comparison to the health of a country's economy. especially MNE's like Anheuser-Busch who have markets all over the world.

and if we're fucked, then the whole world is fucked. b/c many other countries are experiencing the same exact problems we are.
