ER: Yes, dear. Now, move over so we can get this show on the road!
FDR: Right you are, old girl!

5. It won't be exactly the same, so we're going to endlessly hear how it is not
a depression. Mostly from those that profit from at the expense of the rest of us.

He is definitely inheriting an economic disaster and it might very well lead to Lord Acton's war against the banks. The global, privately controlled, central banking system is the problem and until we address this, the best we can hope for is temporary relief from the worst symptoms. The cycle will continue because the system is designed to cause it.

"The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks." - Lord Acton
