It is what it is - an economic collapse, reflected in the form of a collapse of the living standard (tell me this did not happen!) Lies always accompany such events, so, naturally, US real GDP has been growing according to the government statistics <G> I tend to think the only thing that does not lie is gold, but that market tends to be manipulated to the downside in order to not reflect bitter reality <G> FWIW, employment in Soviet Union just prior to its collapse was close to 100%. This can be achieved through some central planning. The country was collapsing since the late 70-s, and the disintegration was really the culmination of the crisis, not the beginning. US of A has been in an economic collapse mode since Y2K, and the ongoing crisis is just a reflection of what already happened. The maximum pain comes when the desperately needed bitter pill is finally taken. We have not taken the pill. Not even close. We keep doing exactly the same chit that got us here. Our problem has been excessive speculation, exporting dollars and other toxic paper products, and the union of the financial elite and the government that almost got us into a fascist regime.
