Are you ready for a crash?

My Mom has talked about it, some economic advisors are talking about it, and I am a bit scared that what they say may be true. We are heading for a repeat of 1929.  As it says in this article, all the safeguards put in place after the crash of '29 have been slowly dismantled in the interest of 'free trade' and greater profits. The dollar is tanking, real wages are falling, we have a health care crisis,  the real estate bubble has burst, and we are spending more than we have. The national debt is at an all time high. Ready for a second Great Depression?

All I can say is be aware and take any safeguards to ensure your well being.
