I swear if one more fucking idiot compares the U.S. Economic situation to the Great Depression, I will fucking tear our their throat, pour gasoline down the opening and light a match. As I see it, there are still plenty of people driving cars, taking trips on airplanes, movie theaters are still packed with people, along with restaurants and other

They are probably talking about the amount of unemployment.

This is the biggest recession since the 1930s it's only natural people will compare it to the last biggest recession. Also some of the financial dick moves that got us to this recession are similar to the ones in the Depression. The social climate is much different but there ARE similarities in the financial aspects of the comparison.

Which is exactly what I said :P. I am saying it is stupid to get so angry when the comparison was inevitable.
