I am assuming you are talking about the U.S.?
I can't really comment on the situation in the U.S., as I'm from Europe, sorry.
I just wanted to say, that I find it rather irritating how you are trying to put blame on "the current government". First of all, this makes the post feel politically motivated, rather than being a genuine question - secondly, if the depression you are describing is coming, then the root causes of it are highly likely to go back a lot further than just what one government did "the last few years". A depression that lasts for decades, typically also has has been in the making for decades before it's start.
And when it comes to the triggers that might start a long-looming depression - the pandemic (esp. money printing for stimulus packages), and supply chain crisis seem the most likely candidates.
- hooby 5y agoI think the best thing you Americans could do right now, is to stop trying to divide the country even further, stop shifting blame, but unite and work together to effect actual change.

- HarryHirsch 5y agoThese calls for unity and bipartisanship are precisely the wrong approach. In time of crisis there are certain issues that need to be solved one way or the other. The US should effect regime change in Russia or it should not. Housing is an investment vehicle or a necessity for life. Wokeness is a strategy to fight systemic racism or a strategy to divide the working class. These are all reasonable but incompatible positions. The government must choose one and go forward to see how it works. But bipartisanship is just limping on both legs.
- throwawayffffas 5y agoI don't think he is putting the blame on the current government. He is saying he thinks they will lose, which is an observation not a condemnation. He is not commenting on their policy.
