By: Blake C
Tennessee, Grade: 5

A Depression is when the stock market's stocks cost too much money and it crashes.It finally crashed in 9:00 in the morning, $40 a stock, and back up to $90 at 5:00. The United States were in a great depression, for 12 years. Many men lost their jobs and had no money. Soon they could not pay for food, bills, and education. The U.S finally pulled out of the Depression in 1944. Now th U.S is (was) in a hole, (in 2008) Now, since Obama became president we are pulling out yet again of a LITTLE depression..........Blake C
