Economics was one of the most interesting courses I took in college. Although this is probably one of the biggest economic downfalls since the Great Depression, I feel as though we will come back from it. I must say the war impacts my opinion on the recession as I do believe it is one of the main causes. I don’t think people really realize the politics involved with economy as a whole. I think if people researched this topic in depth, the presidential election may have had a different outcome. With unemployment rates at a all time high and real-estate at an all time low, it is understandable that people are nervous about what the future holds. I just feel very blessed that I have a good paying job that supports me and my family.
