    perhaps you could have condensed your ideas into one post, i guess thats what you do when you have no more intelligent arguments to present

    this isn't the only recession that has ever happened, not sure if you were old enough to have understood the 2001 recession but inflation was much higher and people survived

    As to the accuracy of the depression statistics:

    http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2007/08/13/Unemployment-Rate-Numbers

    The first collection of data didn't happen until 1937, all other figures can only be viewed as extrapolations.

    the general condition of the market was bad... I'm not saying everyone made it through, I'm sure some people lost their homes and jobs due to it, but still the economy recovered and so did the public

    So now, you're back-tracking and reversing yourself, and you call this engaging in a "debate".

    Admit it. You're just a troll and should be banned.

    Oh, those are the typical troll excuses and modus operandi, as is obviously your case.

    Because the unemployment rate is based on a relatively small sample of the population, it has a significant margin of error. For any given month, the number needs to move by more than 0.2 percentage points for statisticians to be sure that it even moved at all. In 2006, that occurred only three times.


    again another quote from your link, i said okay add 0.3 to it but even they say it only sometimes needs to be moved by .2

    why have you stopped talking about the actual subject and turned to personal attacks?

    Every recession IS bad.
    People do make it through, even cockroaches make it through somehow.

    The point of this thread is recession, especially as it pertains to current government fiscal and monetary policies.

    Insisting that your point is that people do survive in a recession is moot.
    Even the caveman somehow made it through.

    It's government policies as to how they relate to and affect when a recession happens that's the topic of this thread.

    2001 wasn't a good year for a lot of people.

    Thanx! I like discussions hate having to wade though the "crap" that really has nothing to do with the discussion. I mean, come on, use a word processor flame all you want, you can call the person an idiot and cuss all you want. Then just delete those parts before you post! That will help you see how much you’ve actually added to the thread!

    PS Using a word processor will help to fix all the spelling and grammatical errors which can be distracting.

    okay, i already outlined how unemployment is calculated and presented the data , what the inflation rate is compared to previous recessions/years, what the GDP growth is now and what it is projected to be, and a basic outline of what the government should do to try to get us out of this recession if you could just tell me your version of these few things the debate could move past name calling
