I heard an prediction of the future economy and how it will go into a depression at around the year 2010. Their reasoning was that the massive number of Senior citizens from the baby boom will start to retire and it will significantly lower consumption because of the fact that senior citizens do not spend much money due to their fixed income thus reducing our GDP. This (according to these people) will cause a chain reaction to reduce spending and increase savings thus leading us into a depression. What do you think?

If I, with my limited knowledge of economics, understand this correctly, there are bulls: people who want to see stocks go up; and bears: people who want to see stocks go down. But why are there people who want to see stocks go down? Isn't this bad for the economy?

"Every gun is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of it scientists the hopes of its children"

take a look.
Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).

Maquila is the short form of the word maquiladora, if it helps your answer/search. Theoretically, the essence of both are the same, so differentiating between them is posing a serious problem. Btw, I'm not sure if the category I chose to ask this question under is the correct one, so (plz) bare with me.

I'm talking about young people in need to buy a house or at least to rent an apartment to live by themselves.
Here in Italy it seems almost impossible for us to buy a house and a big waste of money to rent something since the prices in both the situation are unaffordable for ordinary people.Most of us keep living with their parents and have given up the idea to start a life on our own.That's obviously thank to our marvellous politicians who had better change job and leave the government in more capable hands.
Anyway,how is it in the USA?Do young people have better chances than us over here in Italy?

If we were able to stop or incredible reduce DUIs and drug addiction as well as other crime. A great deal of jobs and funding would be gone. Not to mention the politics that depends on crime.
Do you ever think that part of the problem is that we don't want a solution, we are just looking for treatment?

A 2005 United Nations report called for a doubling of foreign aid to poor countries as the means to reduce poverty. Yet the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a for-profit microloan bank and its founder, an apparent vindication of the ideas of Peter T. Bauer, Henry Hazlitt, Deepak Lal, and others. As Bauer wrote, “Development aid, far from being necessary to rescue poor societies from a vicious circle of poverty, is far more likely to keep them in that state.… Emergence from poverty requires effort, firmly established property rights, and productive investment.”
