I can't help wondering, what if a collapse is already baked in?


It is. The only thing that is keeping us afloat is the weak dollar/low interest rates. We can't keep the interest rates at zero forever. And a strengthening dollar will discourage foreign investment, so the window dressing of the strong stock market will go away and we will plunge from there.

If Romney is smart, he will encourage an economic policy that gets the collapse over with early so that we recover by 2015.

One election outcome that is possible is that Obama wins and the Republicans keep the House but don't get the Senate. What a mess the next four years would be!
