Oh, yes they did. The New York Times has an article posted comparing the mechanics of the current financial crisis to those that caused the Great Depression.
Just in case this post doesn't clarify what I've been doing lately, I've been reading a lot of the New York Times in between studying and watching episodes of Scrubs. I'm studying econ for a midterm on Thursday. Drawing pictures of demand curves seems especially quaint in the midst of what apparently may be the dawn of the new depression, but I suppose an understanding of microecon will help me with my macroecon?
As a side note, when I was home this summer, my mom kept telling me that I was "really intense." I never quite figured out what that meant, but it had something to do with always discussing really serious topics. Today as I rambled on the phone about the likely voter models used in polling, I couldn't help but giggle at the fact that I'm also the person she comes to when she has a serious question.
This election has me on the edge of my seat. Watching what the polls do in the next week and a half...it really could go either way! (Although I think Obama will outperform the polls due to on the ground organizing. It's an official prediction!)
