OK. Here is the meat of the question.

With our economy in the current state it is, would two or three really hard years fuel a crash akin to the depression?

Here is why I ask. There is SO much private debt out there, as well as corporate debt, and depending on who you listen to, more debt than non-governmental assets, that if there were a bad recession (worse than the late 90's recession) for multiple years, could our economy crash due to inability to service the debts. I am not refering to the national debt, that is a whole different conversation, I am refering our economic workings - while I understand the national debt is related to overall economic health, I am not looking for a debate regarding the national debt. I am looking for prespectives on What If.

This is not a political question it is an economics question, please leave your bush-bashing or pelosi-punishing at the door.

This isn't a homework question like most of the questions on here. It's just something I was thinking about. It seems to me like gas would be relatively close to a perfect competition situation... homogenious product; many buyers and sellers; etc. I can see stations near the highway charging more because people are lazy, but how to gas stations that are right across the street from each other get away with differing prices?

A simplified and straight to the point answer would help me quite a bit. I know its a free trade agreement between North American countries, but am unsure of what specific countries and what it actually does.

Again, this would really help me out. thanks

There are millions of people with out a shelter and food. If 50% from military expenses turn to elevate poverty, world would have moved to another direction. People who create weapons to kill human beings talk about peace and stability! What a mockery this is!

I keep reading how the huge amount of debt brought on by the housing boom and taking out loans on people's homes are going to cause a huge stoppage in consumer spending, triggering a huge recession.
Is this bogus or not?
why? I mean is it really that bad or different than in the past? You dont think people will keep spending?

Considering:
- access to health care,
- cost of living,
- housing costs.

Climate is also an issue:
- cold can worsen pain
- cold increases utility costs
- snow severly impacts mobility, and
- heat can be dangerous
- air conditioning costs are high.

Crime impacts the disabled more so than the healthy:
- may not be able to flee an attacker
- or fight them off
- disabled are often seen as a good target
- does low income housing also me mean a high crime rate?
