I'm afraid no one really knows what they are doing here, or what the consequences of inaction are.

Sometimes systems are just too complex- this is probably one of those times.

Bingo, that's the 800-pound gorilla sitting next to all of us on the sofa that no one wants to acknowledge. So the whole issue has become a giant movie screen for each poster and pundit to project their own ideological biases on.

Anyone who thinks they KNOW what is happening and exactly what's needed to fix it is deluding themselves. Best we can do is a package of different ideas to see what works, then tweak it as we go along. It won't be pretty or tidy, but hopefully something will work.

All the other elaborate analyses are navel-gazing as an Olympic sport.
