Bottom line: we're screwed. Nobody wants to be holding the bag when the shit hits the fan, so there will be continual "temporary measures" to postpone it further and further down the road (all the while making the eventual correction that must happen be more and more severe), until finally nothing more will work. It's a like a heroin addict chasing the rush by taking higher and higher doses until he finally OD's.

America: it was fun while it lasted.
