GDP credits deficit spending and war costs as a positive,

Total bull shit. GDP is the cost of product. If the amount of product is up from last it is positive, of less then negative. Deficit spending and war costs only count for the amount spent on new product. Increased debt will eventually have a negative GDP because we cannot spend money on product if we spend it on debt.

WE are in a serious economic situation.

If it gets worse there may be some extremely difficult times ahead.

Forget a recession...................a depression is likely for some sections.

I heard that the Sharper Image is in bankruptcy.
