Reading this forum, one would think that a recession is the end of the world. It's not even clear that there will be a recession.
Get a grip folks.
Yeah. Think I have to agree with V. on this one. I'm not sure how productive it is, at this point, to go about shouting: The sky is falling! Those who control the money, control also its value from day to day. I think that, perhaps, they're getting us to push the panic button so that we'll more easily submit, out of fear of economic collapse, to the idea of a North American Union, modelled after the EU. But who knows?
