"The US is going down." Not necessarily. That's panic talk. It doesn't have to happen, though obviously it might. Yes, you're right: there all kinds of sinners and mistakes: bankers, politicians, voters, regulators, gatekeepers. Fine. The anger is justified. But that's not the point. The patient is on life support and everybody's ranting about who did the crime. Your choice - keep the patient alive, or argue over the dead body. Easy to see which choice is being made. Which makes the outcome certain: you've created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Jim

To ask the same but more concise: Does it go down amidst surging inflation and the masses not having the means to buy? (The Geithner Version; printing several non-sterilised trillions), resulting in a kind of stag-flag with deteriorating fundamentals? Or does it go down with renewed deflation, further job losses until manufacturing is completely erased and the treasury facing the same problems with shrinking tax revenues (the neolib version with no further interventions and darwinism in its purest form)? Heads off or ears off?
