    Jake, Doug Casey wrote an essay in 2006 that I bookmarked way back then. Read it and pay special attention to the last few paragraphs which may provide background on why this is not great news. The essay is entitled, "The Greater Depression". If you have time, I would love to hear your thoughts regarding the piece.
