i wonder what a depression feels like

They're finally starting to say that our economy is in a "recession". I've been dealing with business clients for 30 years, and I can honestly say that I've never seen businesses struggling like they are now. Meanwhile, individuals are dealing with foreclosures, work layoffs, massive debt, and financial fear. None of our leaders or would-be leaders are inspiring confidence. I think it's going to take a lot more than a feel-good tax rebate.
