The History Channel will be airing (10pm EST) a show titled "Crash: The Next Great Depression" comparing and contrasting the current economic situation with that of the Great Depression. I wonder if they are actually going to show a slight bit of honesty in their assessments.

To be honest, I know nothign about the Great Depression. I barely even remember it being brought up when i was in School, and I really have no idea on how it happened, or what caused it. I hear some people say that "The New Deal" Got us out of the great depression, but then i hear some people...
