So it's like a recession except that it's a more severe recession & lasts much longer than an average recession. & could be, yes. The U.S does have a chance of experiencing a Depression soon. Let's just hope the U.S won't say : Solution?= War. Because if it does say that, either it's going to be a horrible horrible conflict or the termination of the human race. After All Hillary Clinton already said that if she's elected president she will Completely Destroy Iran, if Iran nukes Israel. So yes, WW3 it could be just around the corner.

Generally is it just a more severe recession. I think if unemployment reached 20% it would be considered depression.
