Who’s got the Hayek quote? Something about how delaying the inevitable only ensures that the pain which will come will be that much greater when it eventually arrives.

"There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."

There is a way to avoid it, for the USA - develop internal energy like no tomorrow, fossil, nuclear, geothermal, renewable; and produce, produce, produce. Essentially Adam Smith's solution.

But that takes brutal competitive honesty within (like Affirmative Action Not), and opening of energy assets. And of course the Harvard, CFR, crowd are so arrogant, and self-projected, they can never let it happen.

The United States as a geoconstitutionally determined nation is potentially fine, like Canada, like Australia. But the global elite will do everything possible to obfuscate this - there were others who warned so.

National self sufficiency is not isolationism, just self improvement. It might also be called conservatism.

We’re in some kind of historical time-warp:

1. Russia implodes, while America approaches the verge of a huge bubble.

2. America bubblizes, then implodes, becoming the new Russia. Meanwhile, China is in full bubble-mode.

Hypothetical:

3. China implodes, India approaches a bubble...?

Nothing that Karl Denninger http://market-ticker.org/ and a host of others haven’t been screaming about for years...and only now do these “geniuses” finally get it?

mature economy and demographics...

Yes, we’re pucked...
30 years ago, during a severe downturn, we couldn’t buy a job so we started our own business. Now, all we want to do is hybernate and make it through the next 10 years.
The math never lies.
