There are several characteristics that differ. The general makeup of the economy (mass production vs service based), the size of the Fed's balance sheet, and efficiency in determining information in financial markets (lack of computers and such) paves a different path of depression.

Again, you saying that things are worse does not make things worse. You have to understand that I'm not going to take your word for it.

Yep, you're a joke. I ask a simple question; rather than answer, you respond with petty insults once again.

The whole thing is that I DID ANSWER.

I just didn't take a position on a topic that you want to argue about because it is wholly irrelevant to the topics being discussed.

I swear to God, it's the libertarian version of Jfuh.

I am not expecting you too. Follow the money; look at bank reserves, treasuries, junk bond markets etc.... Regardless of whether you take my word or not, my intent is not to convince...

Simply saying "follow the money, etc." does nothing to support your claims. You need to

1) Show what has happened with those reserves/treasuries/markets
2) Show what that has historically meant
3) Show how what's happening now in those areas means that the economy at large will be worse than ever

Plus the run on the banks.

I can see people doing irrational things when they are starving.

1) China has been thinking about this for years, it's nothing new.
2) China actually owns far less of our debt than is popularly believed: a little over 6%.
