Many people are comparing this current financial mess to the Great Depression.

I think we need to give it a name before the GOP-controlled media does.

So, what say you DU? What should we call this mess?

A poll based on suggestions will be posted later that we can then all vote on.

My suggestion: the Reagan Revolution

Seriously, if we can get the GOP-controlled media to call Sarah Palin "Caribou Barbie" we can get them to adopt our moniker for this mess.
