Here, I agree with you.

Also, when this thing fails, who’s going to trust the gov’t to fix it with even more government? I can see that working if there was a slow fail, as others have said: Say, over a 5-10 year period. A major collapse by 2014 would pan out much differently, IMO.

Oh my....logic and reason, leading to a rational deduction.

Mustn't have that, whilst the choir is chanting its daily, "we're doomed" mantra.
