POLS 365 10/22

I continually disturbed by the state of the economy in the U.S., once again yesterday, the stock market plummeted leading the stock market experts to believe that we have not hit the worst of the plummets so far. I am greatly concerned because I have already started my 401K and I don't want to lose my money, just like the rest of the nation. But thats something I have realized more and more, we are not just affecting the rest of our nation, we are affecting the world with the state of our economy. We are a global economy. I don't think we are capable of having another depression because we are a global economy more than ever. I have read in the news how China and the rest of the world are being affected by our economy. It's actually sad, is China going to help? Is any other nation, or is the U.S. on its own to figure this out?
