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.

How about quit spending? Not a good time to grow government. This administrations talks about cleaning up the mess it was left, but they are only creating more debt and more mess. We don’t need another war.

My point is, if the bad decisions of individual people or corporations are causing these recessions, does that mean that this is a normal occurrence, especially when people are allowed to get themselves into debt and make unwise investment decisions?

Question by Gladiator: How are big businesses affecting this current US recession?
Throughout modern history, depressions and recessions have always made someone fight for the idea of “growing big business = growing economy.” Is this happening today, in the reverse? Are big businesses growing or shrinking while our economy is slowing?

Answer by Ryunkin
I sincerely believe that the recession was only an excuse to funnel capital out of the United States and shift economic power to countries with a younger and less expensive workforce. I also believe that we have been used by people of a higher pay grade than the President of the United States to act as end users of products made by developing economic powers, in particular, India and China, to create a twin-colossus that will represent the future super powers of the world.

To facilitate this development, the “American Dream” slogan was created and anyone with the gravitas of authority touted it, appealing to baser instincts of greed and pride by using their obvious superior knowledge and position in life as their primary selling points (witness the Bernie Madoff effect if you disbelieve me).

Instantly, virtually every American, except people like me, became a potential millionaire, if only in his own mind, and he had the credit cards to make it happen. Leverage became the password of the day and even people who should have known better were swept up by it. It seems so clear now, but was wise and moral enough to have seen the error of their ways when they should have seen it? Did anyone realize that he shouldn’t spend money that he had no means to earn?

Those days of spending are forever over for America and it is experiencing a fire sale of whatever is left worth selling. In fact, I predict that in the near future American homes and properties will no longer be affordable for Americans and will be snapped up by foreign interests. We will soon be paying rent to live in our own country. Only time will tell if I’m right or not, but I fear that my prediction is a foregone conclusion.

It may take a little time because China still needs the United States to act as a military buffer between it and the Muslim radicals to their southwest. It will continue to bankroll us until its own military has matched or surpassed American might, then it will pull the financial rug out from under our economy and we will become, in effect, a third-world nation.

Is it any wonder that corporate America is pushing immigration. They are replacing the indigenous American population with foreign labor and they’re doing it with the help of America’s own tax dollars. We can only blame ourselves for our calamity. We’ve been so blind and caught up in the mania of self-aggrandizement, that it’s hard for me to feel sorry for our nation, even I’ll be one of the people who will be most affected.

Question by icantremember29: If we are to learn from History, Then what caused our current Recession?

I think it had many variables, which all happened in an order which caused the collapse. If the housing crisis had stood alone, I think we would have pushed through, but we peppered on 2 wars and Americans were weakened with doubling gas prices, plus consumers felt the higher prices through the retail markets, which resulted in what we have today……..just my opinion

In one word, republicans. The failed policies of the Reagan administration followed by Bush Sr set the ball in motion. Bill Clinton did everything he could to fix the problem and managed to balance the budget and build a surplus but Bush Jr came in with those same failed policies of Reagan and destroyed the economy.

if that is true

do you think the u.s. will experience an economic boom after the recession like inthe 70s when the internet/tech boom occured? except this time in the form of an alt. energy boom?

please explain your answers, thanks.

Answer by SDD
By definition recessions are dips in the general upward march of GDP. Whether the next upleg will be especially steep is hard to say. For the next leg to be really steep, you would have to have a pretty steep drop in energy costs — which would sort of work against an alternative energy boom.

not much. people still have to eat, and farmers in every developed country are regulated and subsidized by the government anyway.
