| Actually, what causes a depression is an economic downfall when consumers don't buy as much and banks don't loan very much, and stock market goes down, and all that fun stuff. And yes, the executive branch does take some responsibility in this. I really hope we don't get in a depression, because if we do, my dad's gonna be layed off and i will have to live in a worse place than US.

What happens is that things start getting expensive. Since things get expensive, people start saving money. So the money flow slows down. Then banks start to go bankrupt and then people start to pull money out of their bank accounts just in case their bank closes. And then the banks don't have any money to invest in stocks so the stock market goes down. And then people start losing jobs because big companies don't have people buying their stocks. So in the end there is a high unemployment rate and not much money.

Actually in my local newspaper, the journalist infact did not support the US$700B bailout plan. He mentioned that during an economic crisis, its only when the strong survives and the weak gets swallowed up, and this is a healthy cycle. I think he made sense though. Well I believe the global economy is going downwards, but it'll pick up sooner than we think it would though. Fret not

This is what Mr. Bush said on the TV.
I really think I should move back to Asia and stay away during the "new" great depression
