Whatever "resiliency" the economy is exhibiting is not the result of anything Big Bro is doing, it is DESPITE what Big Bro is doing to it.

This has always been my thought, too, just imagine how much QUICKER the recovery would have been if conservative principles and actions were in place.

Still it is serendipity ‘pure dumb luck’ (!!!) that nothing major happened these past three years.

Lots of people know current situations is Fragile. And they see recent development in Greek/Cyprus, elsewhere in EU, slow down in China, etc. and the HOPE of such luck continuing is slimmer than the previous three years.
