I have never seen the economy so bad in all of my 61 years of life. I feel scared for my children's future.

I don't like to think so negatively, if it happens then it happens, it's out of my control. I'd rather focus on the positive, and the here and now, not what will happen between 2009-2012.

Americans will see the first and last “Great Depression” of most of our lifetimes. Most people simply are not prepared for this coming dramatic change in our economy. Aging Baby Boomers will see the worst of the economy in their retirement years, much as the Bob Hope generation saw the worst in their early years in the 1930s and in World War II on an 80-year generational cycle."
You must be the Nostrodamus of this forum! Tell us of the thunder stick in the bush and how the two great brothers fall. Will the end of the world come 12.21.2012? Will it come at the moment before the noon winter solstice or after? I just wanna know so I can pack my bags and hide in my cave in Alberta, Canada.

Look, if you guys are really that afraid, go up onto the Real Estate section.

Those Realtors can put such a positive spin on ANYTHING, they'll have you running up your credit cards in no time.

Look, we have survived the Cold War, Aids, Y2K, Bird flu, Oil shortages, war in the middles east, and now an economic crisis. All these things were guaranteed to wipe us out, and yet here we sit, still typing into our computers.

In this world, there have ALWAYS been Doomsayers. Despite this the nation continues to run, still taxing me into oblivion. So what could be wrong. Business as usual.

With gas prices, and food prices going up, I think we will see more trouble from people stealing, etc. Even more so....yes. It is a scary thought, no matter how you look at it.
