It’s going to be worse than the Great Depression of 1929 and I’ll give you a some reasons why.
1) In the 1929 Depression, not many people owned homes, so they weren’t carrying that heavy mortgage load. The people who did have homes did not have something called ‘home equity loans,’ which is more money owed on top of the other money. They used to have something else back then called a ‘second mortgage.’ If you had one, you were a loser.
2) Back in the 1929 Depression days, people didn’t have things called ‘credit cards.’
3) The United States didn’t have $14 trillion worth of debt.
4) We still had a manufacturing base in the United States so that when WWII broke out and the economy improved afterwards, we were still able to produce more so than any other country in the world. But now, the U. S. off-shores so much manufacturing now.
5) Back in the Great Depression of 1929, the U. S. government was not $14 trillion in debt and they had a trade surplus, not a trade deficit.
6) We weren’t fighting two wars that have sapped already $2 trillion from our American treasury and it’s getting worse.

1. I dont own a home, I pay rent for an apartment.
2. I dont have any credit cards whatsoever... just a bank mastercard.
3-4 Are completely out of mine and your control.
I dont think this puts me in a more advantageous position than the next guy, but I've got this going for me... I'am the Head Chef at a private golf club. I'am 38 years old. In my work experience I've found that the wealthy still have"enough" to hold onto their golf club memberships, no matter what the economic situation is.Granted, this current prediction of massive depression is solely unique in my lifetime. I'am actually in a position, with enough saved over the last 3 yrs, to be a first time buyer for a home. So I watch with scrutiny, the current economic situation, and I'am not quite sure when to pull the trigger on a purchase... The rates have been lowered again, when "they' were saying only 4mos. ago that rates were going to increase soon. So wtf!! I'am by no means saying I'am "better off" than anyone also. I still get screwed at the pump, although I lease a 2008 Honda Civic (around 39-40 mpg). I havent gone on a vacation destination in at least 4 years, choosing to stay local and have family time. Would I have liked too? Hell yeah! I simply couldnt afford it. It sucks basically living paycheck-to-paycheck, buy if I stay this conservitative with my spending maybe I'll have the house, and be able to go away someday!? GLTA!!

It will cause new ass clown touts to enter the market to scam people. The square public Wall Street types and Main Street Squares will turn to sports betting as alternative investments to keep up their lifestyles and monthly payments. The ass touts will lose as usual and then the square main street mom & pops will cap on their own and lose. This upcoming year and next will be very different. The favorites will be over-inflated because squares blindly take the fav. The last few nights have already started. The fav line sits tight while the public pounds the fav.
Steelers are a great example.
Cowboys area great example.
Kansas St is another example, although it is quite early still.

I will take all of my NBA winnings this season and invest in can goods and amunition.
If I don't make much money this season, then I will probably die during the inevitable social unrest and food riots as the USA slowly decends into a state of 3rd world chaos.
Sooner or later there will be Chinese tanks rolling down my street.
My last words before being shot will be "Helmut warned us all."
