The Great Depression Part Deux

I am wondering if the news stations already have catchy slogans in case of another depression. Here are some that I bet they've already thought of:
  • The Greatest Depression (Tom Brokaw's special report)
  • The Great Depression II: This time it's personal (Hollywood News/Variety)
  • When Good economies go bad... (Fox News)
  • The Bush Effect (MSNBC)
  • The Banking Betrayal
  • Panic for Pennies
  • Apocolypse Now Redux Again
  • Cents and Sensibility (think about it)
  • The Audacity of Fiscal Responsibility
IF we ever get to that point and of course, once we get beyond it, I hope there is a book written that will be titled "Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and the News Outlets that cause them. How panic and turmoil is fueled by the quest for ratings."
