10 year recession? The depth is already built into the market from years of abuse. Recovery should start around 2010. The question people need to ask? When the depression is over, I believe it will be one and the IMF President says it is already. Do you want an inflation driven economy? That is is working your buns off all week with a raise. Come home and buy the groceries, a pair of pants and wonder where all the money went. Housing and investments are cheap, but no money left over to invest or for pleasure.

Many say gold will go up big time? I agree. If that is true you will be a millionaire but live in poverty from all the abuse of government expenditures. This is what America gets from a government for enjoying their imports, welfare, wars and wasteful spending.

Without government removing it leech sucking tangles from private enterprise wealth. Private enterprise will not be able to make the dollar strong or worth more value again. Thereby prospering the citizens the government oversees. Creating an society of prosperity.

That is why societies of socialism live in poverty is because of government leeches. Government officials living off society. Doing not a thing productive and encouraging others to do the same.

So in reality it is not recovering from a depression. It is a change of life style by government leeches draining the wealth putting the state in constant poverty.
