Re: "The claim that the current situation in the US today is not nearly as bad as the depression....'

I didn't say that it was (clearly, it is not anywhere near that yet....)

I also took pains to point out that IT IS EARLY YET.

No way to know "how bad it will prove to be in the end" because it *hasn't hit bottom yet*.

All we know is that the acceleration downward is extremely rapid. (And that's a very big problem. The last thing we want is to sit back and watch a self-reinforcing deflationary spiral downward form.)
