I voted that a depression is coming. Plain and simple it is getting bad and I am getting ready. My property taxes are going up (3000 per year 5 years ago 7000 a year now) I am building a chicken coop and a good size garden , I have freez dried foods and canned plus lots of beans and rice, I am also stocked up on meds. Did I mention that the best investment I have made is ammo I have plenty of it to hunt and defend my home with and I reload it as well, it WILL be worth its weight in gold. I could be wrong but I would rather be prepared and not need it rather that need it and not be prepared. Hope I just end up eating all of that food up camping or hiking in the summer but I fear the worst.
