$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('FireJack', 'I') posted on the Rage 3d forums about the book "The Second Great Depression: Starting 2007, Ending 2020" by Warren Brussee and am scared by the responses I got.

My original post:
"I didn't make the title it's from the book : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159...Fencoding=UTF8

It's something that has concerned me for a while espeically as skyrocketing energy prices seem set to exasterbate the problem. I don't think this guy says anything surprising with skyrocketing consumer and government debt with the average saving rate being negative. I wonder if most people are aware of the great hardships they are about to face.

There is a interview with the author:http://financialsense.com/Experts/2006/Brussee.html"

First 3 posts wern't serious and the 4th guy agreed. The 5th post though was this:

"I don't know if there will be another great depression in the US. If there was, the world would join us in it, since the US is 1/5 of the Earth's economy. All the major nations sell things to us and if we cannot buy them, their economies tank also.

Personally, I think we have placed our nation into a holding pattern, to give the rest of the world time to catch up. Most of the world cannot afford to buy US products. As their economies ramp up, their people become wealthier. As they become wealthier, they can afford more of our products.

That is my crystal ball gazing prophecy."

The next guy agrees with him. I thought of arguing but I tried before and its useless, these people want to live in la la land. This puts me another step forward to making a hidden shelter and stocking it full of food and hiding there until idiots like that either die of confront reality.
