What is ANY number, figure, trend, factoid etc that says no New Great Depression?

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the meltdown this year. My industry has been amongst the hardest hit. I finally tried to think of one thing that suggest that a New Great Depression wont happen, and couldn't.

I mean the more numbers you add up, and trends you factor in, and debt you pour over it, the worse the picture gets. Does actually objective, solid ANYTHING exist that presents a real argument for not taking the New Great Depression doom & gloom seriously?

Its always good to be optimistic Igs, but this really needs to happen....

..things will never be the same again, -- but a change is as good as a holiday, hey,

No!
But i can think of a lot that point to it HAPPENING!
My Fav. is 240 000 people lost their jobs in October.
That means they not gonna make their bond repayments.
Which means more foreclosures.
Which means more Bailouts.
Which means when the Hyperinflation hits us!
We gonna S***!
