Flickr Album: Shoot the Recession

The Great Depression brings to mind grainy black and white photographs of bank runs and bread lines.  But what does the current economic crisis look like? Slate.com asked its readers to send in their view of the recession. You can see Slate’s "Shoot the Recession" project on photo-sharing site Flickr, and it’s even not too late to submit your images. On today’s World News webcast, Linsey Davis showed us some of the best photos.

STOP paying TAXES is solution

As you may recall, this meltdown started when the so-called “energy” companies began gouging the nation on the price of fuel, not with the banking crisis. That cascaded: gasoline went up and with it prices of everything else that has to be transported, food and just about everything else and the cost of electricity went up, which not only raised the price of goods but services as well.
The oil companies strike when the economy is prospering. Every 5 years or so they come through like the grim reaper and harvest the life blood of the nation. Now they have found a way to bleed the cash cow just short of killing it. As they say, “Practice makes perfect.”
It is not just the government which is at fault, the media misdirect the nation’s attention to symptoms rather than causes and the people act like ostriches with their head in the sand.
(I would remind you that the “energy” companies raised their prices in advance of OPEC. OPEC just wanted a piece of the pie. The whole mess is a scam.)
