R.I.P. Easy Money

I don't really think everyone knows this, but since the Industrial Revolution, America has not had a "steady economy". Our economy is based entirely on continual growth. When we see a downturn, it's akin to saying "Well shit, I was getting a raise of 10% each year, but I only got a 7% raise this year". This is not a 3% downturn, it's a natural correction.

I give up though, some people will still be confused.
