Actually, "studies" say exactly the opposite, that the loss of dollars in circulation came FIRST.

O.M.F.U.G. OCTOBER 29, 1929 was all of 2 months and 2 days before 1930.
What made the great depression WORSE after the crash was the same thing that made 2009 worse than 2008
It takes TIME for the loss of buying power to spread!
Economic ILLETERATES on the right!!
Oh, and Ben Stein? The idiot who said "With science you get to killing people (as opposed myth based thinking)"? THAT is your source?

And how fast is Japanese GDP growing again? Actually, you kind of prove my point.
The Japanese have followed the same path as American Republicanism has enshrined as the Reagan Doctrine
All it got them is a 40 year depression that just started up again.

Certainly not including Policemen who perjure themselves after assaulting an 'inferior citizen' and show off their little pencil point red spot as the excuse for murdering the citizen who was struck by the policeman with his car door.

WRONG, wrong, wrong, as the starving-to-death masses in India prove (Circa 12000 per DAY). China let's its poorest work for food inside barbed wire, and Brazilian shop owners PAY TO KILL homeless starving children.
THAT is why there is no net gain and why examples prove unrestricted Capitalism is unrestricted murder for profit.

I think I found a reader here!!

Propitio Principii (begging the question), neither the will to buy nor the money to do the buying is in the hands of consumers thanks to the Speculators who produce nothing.

And, since the market for Violins is under the control of a Commodities Broker, every last one of the makers gets $18.00 - costs.

Ahh, no. Actually, Bundled Mortgage Instruments stole 12.3 T of that gold. And Deriviatives under Boeskey and Miliken took 4.9 T of the gold.
In fact, it all went to private SPECULATORS who gave no value in return.

Yep, China does indeed protect its courts with soldiers
Their RIGHTS have no protection at all, since Lawyers cannot argue such before any court which the SOLDIER SUPPORTED STATE controlls.
Let me repeat, your rights have been protected by LAWYERS, not soldiers.

And when did blocking become an ONLY British Telecom act?
Seriously, get the Alzheimer's test. That way you will know.

Like I said, Economic literates among the idiots!

Lie, Lie, Lie. The crash AND ALL THE LOST CAPITAL came from Speculators.
The Depression began 8 years before the 29 crash, that is where all those Oakies came from
I suggest you read an actual history for once. The BOTTOM of the Depression occurred in 1933. The collapse of the market happened three years earlier!

NSA is full of lawyers, and the few limits placed on them have come from OTHER lawyers. No soldier stepped up to stop Bush from herding Americans into "Free speech zones" and only REPUBLICAN JUDGES allowed it to continue in contravention of the 1st Amendment.

Oh really? Untli the oil embargo, how many Americans were lost to the Axis? Oh, wait, NONE! That was easy.
I suggest you get the test for Alzheimers.
