Some people say its the worst recession since the great depression.  I have seen quite a few charts like this one.  Things have been worse for short periods, and its far from over.  Let us hope the governments plan works.

Just in case any one is still checking on this blog.  I have found some interesting videos by an economist name Peter Schiffer

This is in 2007, they laughed at him and he called it exactly right.

And this is what he is saying now...

I hope he is wrong since its not a very good outlook, but I think he might be right.  I only wonder what the best way to prepare for hyperinflation would be.
