If you have a large coding project that is poorly planned and poorly written, each bug fixed can result in a greater risk of creating more bugs possibly more serious than the one fixed.

If the code is well planned and built in small well encapsulated parts that can be easily read and understood by the developers and interaction between the parts are well defined, you can lower this to maybe each bug fixed results in .01 bugs created.

The US and world economy is probably more like the former situation. In other words, it is large, poorly planned, and poorly written. Poke it in one place to try and fix it and another place goes on the fritz with no hope but to trash it and start over.

Thanks for clearly bringing into focus what i was fumbling to explain.
Regards Gorbachev, i respect he heard the cry and let it all come down.
Another man would have just have started to slaughter the crowds.

i have read in passing Gorbachev himself saying in a speech or writing.

'When the crowds flooded the streets, i thought i kill my people to save what?? i recognized Communism was an utter failure.' NOT word for word, but close enough, i think.
