correction: n. A decline in stock market activity following a period of increases. recession: n. A moderate and temporary decline in economic activity. depression: n. A period of drastic decline in the national economy, characterized by decreasing business activity, falling prices, and unemployment. In YOUR lifetime, have you seen anything that resembles what YOU are seeing now both economically, politically, and militarily? Interesting to note that on tonight's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer one guest poignantly mentioned that for the first time in many decades the world lacks a leader for people to rally around. ADAM POSEN: I think the key right now in the world today is probably the first time since the late 70's there is no leader in this world. Bill Clinton is hobbled by scandals about which we know the Russians laugh about it, they don't laugh at him; they laugh at us. They think how silly they're worrying about bread next week and we're worrying about somebody's dress. pbs.org What does that mean for YOUR future? Kinda makes ya' feel ashamed/stupid to be an American when the REST of the world is wondering where their next meal is coming from and WE'RE arguing over how bad/good a guy Clinton is, eh? LesX
