CB, is the USA leading the world to a new Great Depression and new Great War by getting protectionist? There are a lot of moves to "protect" USA industry against people doing things cheaper in other countries.

Here's an article jewishworldreview.com from Thomas Sowell about more causes of the Great Depression. See the newest article but there are others worth reading [all of them]. You'll need to go to archives probably to get the article - scroll to the bottom for archives. <10/09/03: Great myths about the Great Depression

One of the rules of golf is that when you go wrong, you go really wrong. One mistake leads to another until there is chaos in the head and mayhem on the course, with golf clubs being thrown, base language used and distinct feelings of paranoia and schizophrenia.

Maybe that's how Great Depressions occur. Then, after defeat, collapse, resignation, and a bowed head one reverts to the more normal day to day treadmill.

Even Tiger Woods and the USA, big deal though they are, are not immune to the process. It is vital to recognize the start of the process and quickly go directly back to having shoulder to the wheel, nose to the grindstone, ear to the ground, [a contortionist trick], rather than start thrashing around, cutting imports, taxing the rich or poor, starting a war and suddenly raising tariffs and generally 'doing something' to solve the problem.
