If no one knew, it wouldn't happen. If the public is not aware of the economy getting worse, then they wont stop spending, which would help prevent the depression from even happening.

The main thing that causes Depressis IS a lack of Confidence,

Two basic ecnomic facts for you

People buying and Selling Stock=GOOD
People keeping money in matresses=BAD

Take your money out of the bank means the bank has to sell the stocks or land or what-not it used your money for, Meaning you forclose on Ma's Farm Bad you! Or sell stocks, which weakens stocks which means people sell them, on and on till everyone has money and its worth nothing

The Montary System is in the end a Belief system that those little Slips of Green Are worth Somthing, Remeber when People used Russia Rubels for Tolet Paper? Because people lost faith in the money and it became worth particuly nothing thus it was cheaper than Normal TP to use so people did

Free Flowing Money being used for Investments which are used for other Investments which see the first part are what make a Economney Run

Stop it and it all crashs down

If there was a depression, Congress would be sure to give themselves a huge pay raise.

To end the depression, people should invest in the stock market, and buy stuff. Perhaps there is a link to Bush taking a vacation and the stock market going up.

Anyway, the recession started during Clinton's term.
