I love it when gamers talk economics and think they know a lot about it. Not saying none of them know economies, but if you did take the time to look over the trends, the economy is always in an up and down cycle. We will have a few years of increase, then a few years of decrease, then it will level and start increasing again. The Economy has been much worse than it is now, and not just in the Great Depression. It was bad at one point in the 70's, at one point in the 80's, at one point in the 90's.... see what I'm trying to say? News stations and politics will always ride the bad times because it gives them attention and allows them to gain influence, but never fear, the good times are just around the corner. 
(that corner could be months or years away, though 
)
