Do you feel we are in a depression instead of a bad recession?

i look up and down the roads i travel foreclosures everywhere. i look at small business and they are closed. every one who is able is trying to plan a vegetable garden this year. food donations to food banks are dwindling. i see people shopping and buying things but only what they need it seems. the dollar tree is running out of stock as fast as they can order and put it on shelves. only working people have a chance but those retired or can not find a job or are laid off due to company shut down. why have we allowed all of our jobs in america to go over seas and leaving our economy in such a mess. americans how can we survive this mess? it is getting worse every single day and those who do not feel it are not in the real world. it is a heart breaking mess.
