It's like seeing that the last message from the Titanic was "Icebergs sited. Full speed ahead."

Interesting you mentioned Titanic. Had the Titanic hit the iceberg head on, it wouldn’t have sunk. Instead it sideswiped the iceberg tearing a hole all along its side, thus sealing her fate. True, the impact of a head-on collision probably would have killed some on the ship, but at least she still would have stayed afloat.

Kind of like how they are trying to address this problem. Instead of hitting it head on, and dealing with the pain, they are trying to sideswipe it with all of these bailouts and stimulus plans, which in the end will only make it more likely that we will also sink in the end.
