Poll question: Where's the current economic turbulence leading us? ........

[whistle]

1. take the poll please k&r

[DJ13]

2. K&R!

Voted deep recession, but it may be borderline depression.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Conditions are just right for a depression

and I hate to say that... but the parallels to 1929 are down right scary

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Hell, the parallels to the last days of Rome are equally compelling.

I vote total collapse.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. True, look on the bright side

the fall of the US then is coming to a country near you

[KillCapitalism]

6. I voted total collapse.

Once it's all said & done, we'll just have to scrap this failed, corrupt economic system we have right now, and start with something new.

[marmar]

12. "and start with something new."

Agreed. I hope that's the one positive than can come from this.

[ConcernedCanuk]

7. Total Collapse: - the World is weary of the USA's attempt at global dominance.

The USA coulda been a nice country with farm-based communities, automotive plants and so on,

But the Kapitalists wanted more $$

And raped the land and their citizens.

USA is at odds with their best neighbors, Canada and Mexico - the whole of South America except Columbia, the whole Middle East(with the exception of Saudi Arabia), China and Russia.

I probably left out a few.

But you get the point?

USA Collapses . .

Who cares?

[Truth2Tell]

8. Total collapse.

Long and drawn out, cuz TPTB have more tricks up their sleeves to slow the process... but eventually total collapse.

9. Depression

Just earlier this evening I doubted whether this would blow up in Bush**'s face before he leaves office. Now after mulling it over for a few hours, my gut tells me the economy will be toast by late summer.

I know nothing about the economy except for what I've learned here and from sites recommended by DUers over the last few years. The consensus (and unreported) opinion on what was happening and would likely result has been proved true each time. And I still can't believe the people we elected -- Dem and Repub -- have let it come to this.

10. We have a bell shaped curve

ranging from deep recession to total collapse. Might be a good idea to tie down the deck furniture.

[leftofthedial]

11. I wish it was total collapse,

but it won't be. capitalism will survive until the end of our species, along about 2100.

[ThomWV]

13. You should think that through after looking at how it has played out in places where its happened.

You might change your mind about what you wish for.

[leftofthedial]

14. we don't need adjustment

we need revolution
