First graph covers 1959-2007, second one comes up to date... notice any sudden increases?

Whenever you see a graph with a large discontinuity like that, you know you have trouble.

There is no way any steady state dynamic process (as in the economy) can abruptly adjust to such a step change without going into wild gyrations.

We are in trouble.
