“Wonder what these bankers know...”
Probably not a lot that is not available to you and me. It has been obvious for decades that things cannot continue the way they have been going forever. If you see a car heading South on I-95 in Virginia you have no way of knowing where that car wil be in 24 hours but you can say for certainty that if it keeps traveling South on 95 it will eventually wind up in Florida. In the same way you could have seen forty years ago that this country was headed in the wrong direction and it has not tried to change direction, it has only gone faster and faster in the wrong direction. It slowed down during the Reagan years but never did the 180 that was needed.
Hopefully not more than you and I already know...
