I am always puzzled by the fact that, since the great depression of 1929, the U.S. has been plagued by a multitude of recession. Nevertheless, the Federal Government seems to be powerless to either prevent or curtail these recessions.Is it that we are failing to learn from our previous mistakes, or is that the problem is inherent in the American culture?
Any country that ostracizes its middle class, promote a large disparity in wages, destroy small businesses, have low savings rate, along with budget and trade deficits, and deny people access to reasonable credit will always be visited by the monster, called recession. An Economy is better- off when 10 million people earn an accumilated $500 million, than when 10 persons earn $500 million. Why? The 10 persons hoard their money. The 10 million people will spend and invest. One person,s expenditure is another person,s income. When you consider the multiplier effect of this kind of Economic activity, you can appreciate the basic working of a market Economy. How is it that the wise guys are yet to figure this out?

[...] MoneyMorning on U, V and W shaped recessions: “This time around, both the initial banking crisis and the fiscal and monetary stimuli have been exceptionally strong. That raises the possibility of a W-shaped double-dip recession. Initially, the stimulus may act like a shot of adrenalin, causing the downturn to abort and be succeeded by what seems like recovery. However, the stimulus must inevitably be temporary, and will produce both extra-rapid money supply growth and an extra-deep budget deficit. That is likely to lead to a second downward leg, this time accompanied by unpleasant inflation, as the “hangover” from the excessive stimulus is felt.” [...]
