Let's Pick A Name For Our Current Mess!

Dr. Walter Block at Lewrockwell.com is having a contest to pick a name for the economic crisis we've been in for some time now.

What Shall We Call the Present Economic Crisis: A Contest (6/19/09 Lewrockwell.com)

"Nomenclature first. Unless and until we know how to refer to the economic debacle of 2009, we cannot make much progress in solving it. We all know what to call the previous episode: The Great Depression. But, what about this present one?"

You can visit the site, take a look at the candidates (there are about 70-80 of them) and send him an email to vote.

The ones that caught my attention were:

• A Depression We Can Believe In
• Big Government Depression
• Fed's Second Depression
• We-Learned-Nothing-From-The-Great-Depression Depression

But then I like it simpler. So, Greater Depression is my first choice.

(I never, ever, not once, expected that I might be experiencing a Depression in person. Sigh...)
