I don't know the exact number, but I believe it was Clinton that got the unemployment record of 5% back then. Let's not forget...Bush got it to near 4%. How can you talk bad about Bush(atleast when republicans were in House and Senate passing good bills), then dems get in House and Senate for the past 2 years screwing everything up.
What a liar. It's a freakin' top-down monopolistic cartel. Shut up about markets already. The financial system is a "market" only in the sense that we have no choice but to participate in it. And by the way, it just failed, Ben. The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away. :-/
These morons are talking about the Federal reserve regulating the economy like it's a good thing when the Federal reserve was the one that got America into this mess in the first place.
Does anyone buy what Bernanke is saying here? He appears rather unnerved and clueless about how to move. At least he knows all about the Great Depression!
This is the era of socialized capitalism or industrical feudalism. The era of privatized profits and socialized losses based on a fiat currency and fractional reserve banking that enslaves the entire world to big banks. Tax payers bail out the investment banks that caused to inflationary housing bubble while they have their homes repossessed. Americans now pay the cost of their slavery to big banks. This is the worlds largest criminal conspiracy.
Please look at Ben's body language when he says that there are differences between now and the 30's. His eyes wander on the table and this sign means inequivocably that he does not know what the truth is but is making up something. He loses eye contact with the camera every time he is making up something. Check it out ;)
The surprising speech by Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard on Wednesday suggesting that banks and businesses may be over-reacting to the credit crunch and talk of an economic slowdown poses the question: Are we talking ourselves into a recession? The short answer is no, but it's worth addressing the issue in depth.
Essentially, if we have a recession, it is because we deserve it, not because we've accidentally talked ourselves into a recession.
2001 was a fart in the wind as far as recessions go.
The biggest danger to my mind, is the wrong people get blamed. Free market principles get blamed. Free market principles isn't the problem. It's the people who CALL themselves classical / economic objectivists, but do exactly the opposite, and are nothing more than rich Socialists. The problem - is that rich socialists are not allowing the system to work as designed.

Any pre WW2 recession was called a depression. They just changed the language because the word 'depression' conjured up strong negative memories.

unemployment rising, more strain on welfare and housing market
housing market crashing, no money for new houses effects
many industries, increasing unemployment
runaway government spending, $3,500,000,000 (Three billion
five hundred million) a day spent by politicians
Maybe we are headed for a recession/depression?

disunity at home, a house divided against itself will not
stand, how can a moslem, a jew, a christian, a hindu,
a buddhist, a wiccan, and an atheist be unified when most
core beliefs are diametricly opposed?
over value stock market, if you liquidate all assets of
most any company traded on wall street, less than 10%
of traded value would be recouped.

shipping jobs overseas, $25.00 per hour job for Paul
in seattle goes to achmed in india for $3.00 per hour
Paul goes on welfare or takes much lower paying job and
can't make house payments so house goes into default.
trade deficit, More goods come into country than we ship
out and more money goes out of country than what is made.

peak oil, sky rocketing fuel prices
loss of faith in dollar,inflation, hyperinflation, what
good is $3000.00 per month pension when hyperinflation
drives buying power to $300.00 a month?
illegal immigration,extra strain on welfare system
(foodstamps,free medical,welfare) driving down of wages,
wages sent to families in mexico instead of staying in
country.
