The Great Depression is Coming
A Sea of Unwanted Imports NY Times Nov 18, 2008 "... Unwelcome by dealers and buyers, thousands of cars worth tens of millions of dollars are being warehoused on increasingly crowded port property. And for the first time, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Nissan have each asked to lease space from the port for these orphan vehicles. They are turning dozens of acres of the nation’s second-largest container port into a parking lot, creating a vivid picture of a paralyzed auto business and an economy in peril..."
Charles Hugh Smith: "How Long Will the Coming Depression Last" Oct 24, 2008 "... I've seen estimates of 2-10 years, after which the government monetizes all the debt thereby cutting the value of the dollar in half. ...let's cover a few points which suggest the Coming Depression will exceed all expectations for depth and length:
1. government data (inflation, unemployment, etc.) is misleading/bogus so it makes a poor data set to work from
2. the debt load for consumers, government and private-sector/corporate is unprecedented, much higher than '74-81 or even the Great Depression. (see chart in the entry on bonds)
3. the U.S. no longer has unlimited cheap oil
4. the expectations of the U.S. citizenry ("I was promised", "I deserve this", etc.) have risen to astounding heights, lifting denial and entitlement to levels so far beyond the reality of what is sustainable that a psychological "crash" is inevitable...."

How about furniture, mattresses, light fixtures and loans, just to name a few? How about what we could easily do without? How about exotic foreign travel, shopping excursions to N.Y., L.A. or S.F., ice cream, frappacinos, "fine dining" of the sort where main courses for $35 are considered "reasonable," hundreds of specialty wineries producing $40-$50 bottles of wine, artsy programs paid for by tax dollars, non-profits doing nice things with donations, gew-gaws for pets, spa treatments, lawsuits with unknown odds of success involving plaintiffs with no money, cosmetic surgery, "financial services," having your nails done, costly haircuts (cut your kids' hair yourself), house cleaning services, dog walkers, travel consultants, kitchen remodels, Mercedes vehicles, or indeed, any new vehicles, now that any decent vehicle lasts 10 years with minimal maintenance, 6-foot long BBQs, "entertainment centers," more iPods, kids' toys, or clothing of any sort or type or style, given that you can buy heaps of clothing for a few dollars at garage sales or thrift stores? This is a tiny selection of literally thousands of goods and services we can easily do without, and indeed, did do without a mere generation ago, when now-commonplace luxuries like $100 per person dinners and hip surgeries for pets would have been reserved for flamboyant millionaires...."
Surviving the Coming Economic Depression October 17, 2008 "... The World is careening through the worst economic crisis since the
Great Depression of the 1930's. Yet, only now, do a majority of
economists and investment fund managers believe we are in a recession.
Unfortunately, the reality is a lot worse than you think.
ShadowStats.com specializes in analyzing U.S. government data. They
report data based on the older and more objective measures, before the
government hired the same financial wizards who messed up our banks
with their fancy accounting. They report that U.S. economic growth as
measured by Gross Domestic Product has been falling since the 3rd
quarter of 2004. That's 17 consecutive quarters of economic contraction!..." Read the rest of the story for some concrete suggestions on what to do to survive.
