Strangely, it is designed to prevent a worse situation - a recession or a depression. That is the NATURAL cycle of economics. The world has ALWAYS had recessions. We remember MANY growing up and later.

Yep, and not because I not a very good swimmer, but because

YUCK.

I guess I'm just not a water person.

What's yours?
Stairs with no backs, as in bleachers, ladders, etc. I feel like I am going to fall through.
