I think you are going to get your wish because this train is too far down the tracks to stop now. I hate to say it but I’m also thinking we just need to face the collapse and get it over with. I hope everyone is getting a year’s worth of food stored up and the means to protect it. Its going to be a very rough ride.

The sooner we "face the collapse" the less severe it will be. Reagan knew that and he precipitated a couple of very lean quarters that resulted in a quarter century of boom.
It is illuminating that Reagan is the only president, perhaps the only significant politician ever to have had a degree in Economics. Even the "conservatives" with the best intentions cannot keep from trying to use the government to steer the economy. Because they do not understand Economics, the very soundest of conservative principles and freemarket intentions are totally irrelevant when the economically know nothing conservative president endeavors to "fix" the economy. A liberal president, has other goals that do not include a functioning economy.
