The Decline and Fall of the American Republic.

Actors and Musicians are consulted more than Men of Learning when it comes to Affairs of State; there is more interest in Snooki than the Founders of the Republic; Partisan Spirit has divided America along party lines; legislators are not subject to the laws they impose on their constituents; elections are bought and sold, gerrymandering and money have corrupted the Democratic process; the economy is in shambles, banks and corporations routinely lie, cheat and steal with impunity; public morality is non-existent, pornstars get more respect than members of Congress; American identity has been diluted, the Ph.D’s that are supposedly experts on the Constitution do not possess a figment of the intellectual power of the Founders; the Supreme Court has powers they were never meant to wield; American has become a kind of oligarchy that might be compared to the Roman Principate when the Republic was dead though the people were duped into believing it was not; Foreign Policy has been a series of unmitigated disasters since the end of World War 2; trillions of dollars vanish without a trace, many into the hands of pseudo-allies such as Pakistan; Etc. Etc. Etc. I a not writing a book here, simply answering a question. Apologies if time and space do not allow a more comprehensive list here.

The horse market is in the dumps. But not necessarily b/c of the economy. But because it’s now illegal to slaughter them. But higher end horses are still selling well.

Answer by Dark Night
It’s not a depression. And things didn’t start falling about until Democrats took control of Congress in 2007.

I haven’t lost my job yet but might soon (and already am working at reduced hours).

This is really a depression and people who still have jobs are fortunate.

Does McDonald’s really hire people with masters? I’d think they wouldn’t cause they are overqualified and will quit right when they find another job.

Question by samantha: How would you compare the Great Depression to today’s recession?
I learned in economics that the Great Depression itself is nowhere near comparable to today’s recession, but I’m wondering how to compare the two in terms of reactions. As in, how America has reacted to each.

Thanks!
I know it’s not comparable economically, but I’m saying in terms of how people reacted.

Answer by jcf6865
The Great Recession was related to the Economy breaking down thus Psychologically the people started breaking down. With no jobs, families could not afford homes, food, clothes, education for their children, medical and dental care, and as time wore on the only people working were the ones with Government Jobs. I lived through that very depressed time. We did not call it the Great Recession we called it the GREAT DEPRESSION.
