My legs! I can't feel my legs! too funny EDIT: I have to pull over whenever Ozzy is in the news. Listening to the "mumble-montage" is dangerous. |

Pentegarn | Because you don't understand inflation, the economy, basic mathematics, how to dress yourself, how to talk to girls, how to win friends and influence people, magnets, medicine, nutrition, or anything else you have ever discussed with anyone anywhere ever. If you did we would not be having this discussion. | |

Colonel Flagg | But all those so-called "experts" either went to school, or have years of experience studying economics and economic theory. They didn't watch any videos or read any op-ed pieces. | |

Dimnos | A lot of those same experts will also say we are now out of the late 2000s recession. Or that we are at least coming out of it. | |

I admit I haven't really followed the economics lately, but after searching the internet for a while (in English and in Finnish), I wasn't able to find any articles, news clippings etc. that would call the current economical situation depression. They all referred it as recession. Also according to many experts who's quotations I read that we are in recession and some people() are just over exaggerating by claiming that the world is in depression. |

I just realized - the only way he wins arguments is by altering quotations of what people say. Is this an infractable offense - because if it isn't, it should be. |

Do research on derivatives. This economy is being kept afloat artificially by bailout after bailout and now austerity for the masses....not for wallstreet who caused the depression......for you. As stated above.......and this is common knowledge to the average American and European.....there has been MASSIVE amounts of bailouts throughout the investment sectors. Most of these investment houses and manufacturing industries are on a contant stream of life support from central banks. Derivatives (Toxic assets, exotic instruments,) are dragging down the world economy little by little into this abyss. The 1000 point drop in 1 day was just the beginning, just today the DOW went below 10,000. This is a controlled contraction of the economy. It's not going to look exactly like the depressions of old. They are slowing pulling these nations (including ours) under the water. Take off the glasses Colonel. It's time to look around at the rubble field. 1.5 Quadrillion dollars and counting of "Toxic instruments". Nothing in history.....counting inflation.....has ever seen this in the past. |

The Leader | No, because inflation hadn't raised prices as much as it has now. You're saying that we are in a depression now worse than the great depression. This demonstrates a complete ignorance of history. I recommend that you do some research and listen to the blessed Ayatollah. | |

Yo, Cornholio: I obtained my data from historical records of inflation rates. The economy recently contracted for 8 months with a 1.1% annualized decline. (It's expanding again, and has been for the last 8 months.) In the Great Depression which lasted 3½ years, the economy contracted at an annualized rate of 6.9%. For, and let me say this with emphasis --- THREE AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS!!!!!!!! I ask again, dipshit - which is worse? 8 months of a 1% contraction or 42 months of a 7% contraction? [mockon] Do your research. [/mockoff] |

Where the hell was today's average income per household in those eras? Where were the profits averaged yearly that today's companies make in those eras? Where was the GDP of the hundreds of countries today in those eras? The reason the 1.5 quadrillion you keep mentioning (over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over) exists is because there is a ton more money in the world than there was in those eras. The percentages of debt, poverty levels, and lack of rescources in those days were worse. The single number you keep spouting about is merely a reflection of the amount of money there is now. It means nothing in terms of employment, wealth per household percentages, cost of living percentages and the like. Why won't you address that? Why is it I keep answering you about why the numbers you post are not valid in context to inflation and you keep ignoring it? Face it, you are ignoring my replies because you have no answer of substance to counter them with. |
