45.8 million people on food stamps, an all time record. The summer of recovery seems to have wilted. u6 unemployment still at record high. If its not a depression it will certainly do until the real thing happens.

Just a quick thought, when you update this with the most current 12 months of data, can you add a chart comparing the number of sovereign debt crisis in our current economic maelstrom versus the previous panics/recessions/depressions?

Just about time for that one year update. Can’t wait to see the new data point plotted over the old. The fantastic, robust growth of the past 12 months will look spectacular when compared to the lackluster previous year. Or not.

I hope you will update and revise this theme as time allows. It would certainly be nice to see it on a quarterly basis, but certainly a year end update would be great.

Perhaps sometime in January 2010, you could show how the economy is performing vis-a-vis past economic crisis. I’d love to see an inclusion of food stamp rates, along with foreclosures, bankruptcies and unemployment to help us get a feel just how much better off we are in this crisis than in previous ones. I’m certain the fact that many homeless are sleeping in nicer cars than we had in the 1982 recession is a good indicator of how much better off we all are now.
