From where did I obtain the following points:
- a sudden, severe rise in unemployment
- Although the times appear on the surface to be a prosperous time, income was unevenly distributed
- wealthy made large profits, but more and more Americans spent more than they earned,
- U.S. stock market downturn, which ruined thousands of investors and destroyed confidence in the economy
- businesses and banks closed their doors, people lost their jobs, homes, and savings
- While businesses showed remarkable gains in productivity, workers got a relatively small share of the wealth this produced....At the same time, cuts were made in the top income-tax rates
A) A CNN article published on September 15, 2008 describing the current economic environment
B) Encarta encyclopedia article on the Great Depression
C) Huffington Post article cynically comparing the Great Depression to the current economic environment
D) My ass
