Does Anyone Want an Economic Depression to Happen?
    #9051017 - 10/08/08 10:09 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

I heard an interesting conversation on the way home today.  Someone actually was hoping an economic upheaval would happen because it would shake all those Wall Street rascals out of their tree, level the playing ground, and everything can start all over again fresh and regulated.  I never thought people would think that way.  What do you think?  Take part in the survey and let’s see where people’s feeling seem to settle on.
Do you want an economic depression to happen?

A depression would not 'level the playing ground'.  It would make the rich poorer, and the poor very much poorer.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

hehe, it always works.
"If you don't eat your soup, hitler's gonna come to power again!"
You're right, it's a false argument.
But it is true that an economic depression can be abused in such a way. When people are poor they're more likely to vote for a 'strong leader' who makes a lot of nice promises.

Read some of Alex Jones's stuff, check out his movie End Game too. The Bilderbergs are making the decisions about the global economy and my other things.

This is a asinine poll.  Who really wants a depression?  I'm a hardworking American, or was until I was laid off after five years of service and it has been most devastating for my family and I.  Sure the richer get poorer, but like was recently said, "the poor get poorer".  Use some common sense when answering!  Has anybody done research on what the "Great Depression" held for most middle class people?  I'll tell the truth, I am truly worried, but I just smoke a doob and try to relax.  One day at a time!

sorry to hear that, highthere.
i see this happening to a lot of hardworking folks.

although an economic depression would be overwhelmingly uncomfortable at first, i could see potential positives coming out of it.

would we get back to basics, live a simpler life, and learn to help one another again?...
...or would we just turn to thievery and selfishness?

Exactly.  Crises are great opportunities for change, but there's no need to make the crisis worse than it already is.

Well, I voted that the economy needs a good shake down. The reasons why is because of a moral one and a fundamental fact. The people of modernized countries bought into the belief that wealth is everywhere and that it was infinite.

It is like the poor and uneducated countries pick the poppies for us to consume, but we can no longer support the finite addiction, and withdraw occurs. If you work on getting past the withdraw instead of trying to prolong it (the stimulus), we will get through this faster.

However, this situation was laid in stone nearly a century ago and although Obama has good intentions, doesn't mean they are good solutions. It's a little too late and we went from a long summer to a quick fall that is now going into a long winter.

For those who are curious about the economic situation and want to know how to prepare for the future, and because I know everyone has a spare 42 minutes lying around, here you go!:grin: I sincerely believe those 42 minutes are priceless however.

&ei=TGaaSaDeAp2wqAOPjMjGDA&q=The+Federal+Reserve

What the future holds is all up to us. Like Entheogen_Vids mentioned, are we going to stick together and figure out a solution, or are we going to breakdown and give up which could result into chaos? I hope people prioritize what is important in life and that this endless wealth literally is an illusion.

Reading about the current events and talking to people, I feel confident despite the doom and gloom, that good things abound in the future.
