I don't think America will collapse from all this, but we
definitely need to do something urgently. It depends on
the path chosen.

1) A painful path will tend to fix the situation long
term and erase our huge imbalances.

2) An easy path is hyperinflation, and that will destroy
the country further.

I'm not sure which path the Fed will choose. The middle
road? The Japanese Way? Or will the congress abolish the Fed,
and then set us on path (1)? So far the Fed always chose to
blow bubbles, the easy path that destroyed our country.

Ben is still a mystery to me. I'm not sure how to label him,
and whether all the public swearing at Ben should be taken
as a compliment (does that mean he is doing the right thing?)
He gets beaten up right and left - he was too slow to drop
the rates for some, too fast and dropped them too much,
destroying the dollar in the process, for
others. Does this mean he did the job just right? The
current account balance must go down. This means we should
have a recession, higher inflation, and a currency drop?

Sir Alan was adored and cherished by everyone, remember? He is
to a great degree responsible for the mess we are in.
