The Great Depression was not caused by the stock market crash of 1929…it was caused by the lack of money in circulation. This is very much like credit drying up (same). You can well imagine the implications of foreign markets, wary of our “promise to pay” (seeing as we are now over TEN TRILLION DOLLARS in debt), refusing the shipments we have become so dependent on. Welcome to the world of fractional reserve lending, finance capitalism, and interdependence, all rolled into one, like so many pigs in the mud. The united States of America’s independence was sold on the international markets. Like HOTT has said…do what you can in order to insure your survival for six months to a year…as I said several years ago…hang on tight, the ride’s about to get pretty bumpy.
