[danka2000]

We were already in the recession in April 2008. The Fed was asleep. The Economic Cycle Research Institute saw it already and ahead of time.

"It was the middle-aged, married guys who have kids that struck me as the most-vicious. Several of them spoke of laying-in-wait with a high powered rifles until the local stock broker / banker / big-business-guy-who-outsource­d-all-the-jobs, is sitting in his living room watching TV. I could see the twinkle in their eyes as they spoke about firing a rifle shot through the living room window into the head of their target." - Hal Turner, of HALTURNERSHOWDOTCOM

Preach it. This man and his pals should be arrested and charged with high treason.

[richi1173]

Bernanke had nothing to do with it. It was Alan Greenspan who caused the housing bubble.

bush's legacy-----RECESSION "08---thanks, now you bankrupted an entire country as well as 3 companies prior to being president

[longsilver1]

Bush for sure is a loser. But he is just following economic policies going back 30 years. Understand both parties sold us out. I would be glad to be mistaken, but you can expect the new president to continue the process of screwing us over big time. The 2 parties thrive and enjoy watching their constituents blame each others party leaving them free to continue stealing the average joes future. Wake up!

[MANofINACTION]

Blame Bush all you want, but this all started long ago and Obama won't magically make the problems go away.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

the secaond half of the year he speaks of has been the worst so far and people tried to warn him about it......how can i now believe anything he ever says

[ilovesteve7]

blame goerge

[CDJ2255]

The worst economic crisis this nation has faced, the Great Depression, required FDR's New Deal Legislation, the creation of the Federal Reserve, and wide spread government regulation to jump start the economy. I understand the idea is abhorrent to conservatives, but it'll take more government regulation to steer us away from recession, not waiting around idly for the market to fix itself.

[johntheadams]

It's a DEPRESSION, dumb-dumb!

[100orbust]

Dumb-Dumb you have no idea what a depression is like. no jobs. this isn't now jobs. Try no FOOD, or money, people killing themselves because they have nothing. Mothers deciding which child will eat and which ones will not eat. That is depression. 1929 to 1943 was depression. This is NOT a depression not even close. It is a buch of winers because they can't get everything they want. Because they all want to be millionairs.

[jesusbeliever899]

i hope we don't have to go to another world war to get out of the depress

[1aaronaaron1]

war doesn't end depression people like Bernake do whenever they see fit
