One Depression Per Century

A house divided against itself cannot stand. Neither can one that spends more than it earns. I've heard the sentence "this is the day that the Lord hath made" long ago. Today is a sacred day, probably the dawn of a new realization that, perhaps, we are going to enter another depression era. Maybe there will be a new rabble-rouser who will find a class of scapegoats, and maybe in the nation with the world's most powerful military. Perhaps this dictator will reason that his nation needs vast open spaces for new inhabitation - lebensraum. Maybe there will be a coalition of other nations that will arise to defeat him. And then, another economic miracle. Who knows for sure? Maybe the most important thing is to establish a population on Mars so that, in the event of a nuclear holocaust on earth, we're not all wiped out. A new space race, that's what we need for a new economic miracle. Ja?
