that depends. Am I going to die anyway? if so then I choose no treatment. We may already be past the point where the economy is no longer curable.

Well that's a completely different position from that of your previous reply. So, what then? Just keep deficit spending until our entire economy and government utterly collapses? Yeah I have to agree, that's probably what is going to happen because we simply lack the will to take our yucky medicine.

I see enough drunks, drug addicts, smokers, and obesity in my daily work to know that in general, most people would rather just die than do something difficult or not fun. We are a fatally flawed species.

I don’t think you understand my comment.

If we are beyond the point of no return, then the final collapse will come quicker if we cut spending.

Having the will to cut is no longer important at that point.
