Recession or Depression?

First things first and that is what exactly is going on with the economy in this giant flux of money changing possibilities? One thing that I noticed that seriously points out this economic change is the drastically dropping price of gas and rising prices in food products. I couldn’t believe it the last time I went food shopping with my mom. Instead of the normal that we usually pay for, we got pretty much the same amount of stuff and the receipt came out with an amount that was at least twenty bucks more than what we usually pay. I swear! I know that we aren’t going into a depression but the possibility has changed everyone’s minds in the stock market. When I read the article online all I could remember was, myself saying, “That oh crap!” where is the market going to go to now?
Recession seems to me as a way to choose the path. It looks like it can be the way to choose the easy way or the right way. When I first heard about the bail out that, I might be for thinking of the better for the country, but then comes the fact that we are already in debt by a humungous chunk of money. What was it again? Like 3 trillion or something or other. If we are going to try to ‘bail’ ourselves out of this we should probably go back to all the passed events in which other countries owed us. Yes we did waiver them, but if you think about it, if we didn’t help them out in their times of need where would they be right now? Probably being ruled by a country near them which forcibly took their land would be a tolerable answer for the situation. Now that I think about it though, this would probably leave us under really bad terms with other decently powered countries around the world. *sigh* Why do politics have to play such a major role in deciding the fate of the world. I hope it is not just me saying that this will end up being a bad thing like what has happened before.
Well back to the stock market. Did anyone watch the stock market the day that recession was announced to the world? I was watching some of the off hand important markets and noticed that most dropped by like twenty or thirty percent in the first half day or so. Now this is the sort of thing that causes depression if you know what I mean. Hysteria is a plague that slowly creeps up on the population and in the end we pay for it. Like the first Great Depression, we had a small window that we could have gone through and made things easier but no…. we had to see what would happen if we did not deal with what we needed to. So I guess that the point I am trying to make is that yes, we are going downhill and things will get worse before they get any better but all the actions we are doing to try to save ourselves are more applicable to hurt us in the long run more than just leaving the stocks and see where it actually goes.
The reason that I say this is that extracting from the market leaves these major thriving businesses that help out the population with nothing to use and so they die, slowly, while we trying to save money which is increasingly becoming less of a currency/value in other parts of the planet. So stop and I hate to say this but leave the politics to the politics. And peace out…
