Great Depression vs. Current Depression -,

I think a crucial thing missing from this argument if I were to even entertain that the depression and recession are at all related ( which they aren't) and the argument is over house prices, well most of the country is still pretty affordable. For example where my parents live in NC, they own acres of land, a 2 story house, a large shop, and a pool. The value is about $150,000. $100,000 houses are still common in their area. Its just that certain areas of the country are still grossly more expensive than others. - On 22 May 2013

I had numerous family members who went through the depression of the 30's. There is absolutely no comparison between then and now. Back then for example there were hardly any safegaurds in place. If your bank went under then you instantly lost all your money. If you were out of work you instantly had no income as there was no such thing as unemployment insurance.
I'll just put it this way: To this day those in my family who are still alive from that generation still keep their fridges and freezers absolutely stuffed full of food as well as all of the pantries and basements too. Things were so bad back then that even food was in some cases a scarcity.
The recession of the 2000's was and is nothing in comparison.
