Some history I have read posits the idea that the Stock Market collapse of '29' did not cause the Great Depression it was Governmental intervention that caused it and kept it going longer than it should have.

Best to be prepared for the worst.
I am very concerned about the government intervention. And with the lack of privacy because of the internet etc. In the wrong hands, things could be horrible.
