This is all painful to see. I don't follow the politics of the matters much. I just wait until someone posts something about it, read everything and then bitch about it. If the numbers that are being thrown around here are true then we are screwed. I would say that a recession would be best case scenario. Depression more likely, and a serious crash in the economy the given. Ofcourse, alot of these things are already starting to manifest themselves. Thank god I work for the government.
