In America we are suffering from a very serious drop in the strength of our economy. Based on the magnitude of the drop and the speed at which it has occurred, and is continuing, it could be compared with what happened in 1929 which brought on “The Great Depression”. By that, the author doesn’t mean that the drop is worse (yet) than it was in 1929-’30, but that the relative size and speed of the current drop is definitely comparable. In 2020 we went from the strongest economy in the History of our country, and likely the world, to what we now have and, most unfortunately, we are likely so see it continue to worsen over the next two plus years. How, we should ask, could that have happened, and as fast as it did?
