Imagine That. Who woudda thunk it?
I think I see a pattern here. It might be too early to be sure, it’s only gone on for 30 years, but . . .
Phase one, EMERGENCY! CRISIS! DISASTER! Only government can save us!
Phase two, thank heavens, it’s only going to take $xx billion
Phase three, they lied to us, it’s even worse than we thought
Phase four, turns out to need four times or more than thought
Phase five, problem persists but country much deeper in debt
