According to Dean, the Administration has created a "financial disaster…the likes of which has not been seen since the Great Depression."

This calls to mind the hilarious British comedy series "Black Adder," particularly one episode in which the following dialogue takes place between Prince Edmund and the Lords of the Privy Council:

Edmund: Er, yes, right. Gentlemen, right... (reads from Harry's notes) As you know, today we face the gravest crisis this country has known since the Roman invasion.

(They all make sounds of protest: "Nonsense!"; "Rubbish!"; etc.)

Lord 1: What about the Viking invasion?

Lord 2: ...and the Norman invasion?

Angus: ...and the Swiss invasion?

Edmund: Er, well, the greatest crisis for some time.
