She might be right. We might have been in a depression by now...or to be more correct, we would be ADMITTING that we are in a depression. This current “summer of recovery” is just a house of cards built on credit and government fiat currency. The sooner we admit that we are in trouble and start sacrificing from DC and Wall St down, the sooner we can start a true recovery that includes using our domestic energy and manufacturing our own products again so the people can work and have the money to make the economy move again.
