CROP LOSS

Along with the floods and severe hot weather conditions and the as yet ongoing fires (30 July 08) and the dismal and sinking US economy, the best that can be hoped for is a depression rather than a total collapse.

Conditions wrought by nature have been in occurence and will be for the forseeable future, but this last eight years under the totally inept bush administration has brought this country to its knees which the weather conditions--that are by no means over yet--have hasened. Other administrations have had worse weather but the economy remained sound. The hurricane season has just begun, and summer has two more months to run. How much worse can the economic climate get? The powers that are are not saying, but the people already know that the worse is yet to come.
