I really really suck at math.
Yeah, devolution’s a bitch. For sure. We got too fat and too spoiled and the privileged got to thinking they needed way more goodies. There’s only so many goodies to go round. Unless you are an oil rich nation.
When you are an upperclassmen of a mined out logged out past its prime country like ours and you want to live like an oil sheik .... you gotta get creative.
Eh, don’t sweat it, what’s a few decimal places amongst friends?
No, it's not going to each of us. It's going to those among us who could not manage their money. Those of us with some sense of not overextending our credit, and not over-buying our homes will get no benefit, but will be required to pay for this debacle for decades through taxes.

...and replace them with different politicians. The game is rigged - there aren't many good choices. Palin is a bright spot in an otherwise dreary pool of potential pols seeking office.
Instead, we are going to get high long term rates, low (or maybe even negative) short term rates and an inflation rate approaching double digits.
Then congress will just sit back and pray for a growing economy.
