I've become convinced what we need to do, what we should have done from the start was to let the whole works crash and burn.  Trying to prop up a system so fragile will only make the inevitable failure that much worse.

I have been saying this for years since this sleigh ride started about eight years ago.  I see you have been studying real economics.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
