Even now, we have a war going on and hardly anybody notices nor cares except in an abstract way or as part of a meaningless debate, like here. That is a similar decoupling from reality s the debt berg has been. But reality will return with a spanking which will hurt like the dickens.

'The actual Great Depression turned this country towards socialism, and under other scenarios it could have turned out much much worse.' Failed policies bringing excess debt, excess speculation and a record gap between rich and poor occured both times. They will not let the end game be the same. It will be debase, spend, open the borders even further to grow the economy at any costs before they allow a depression here again. Bush may be an idiot but he certainly had some smart economic advisers to avert a deflationary downward spiral in 2002-03.. This time the housing bust is a sideshow to a global economic boom underway.. Agree we could see more socialism assuming complete control by the Dems in 2009. Less wealth disparity and redeployment of some capital to the public good in this country is a good thing.
