i think part of what is wrong right now is there's too much fear-mongering---i think this is a pretty good guess:
I don't think this is or will be "Great Depression II," and even "worst recession since the Great Depression" can be true without it being anywhere near as bad as the Depression. Still I think there's a good chance we're in for a period of economic and social upheaval which won't leave the country quite the same once it's over.

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
