? Well, I wouldn't exactly call crashing the world economy, destroying the lending industry, the housing industry, the energy sector, millions of personal life savings accounts and jobs "nuthin". Not to mention confiscating your yet-unborn great grandchildren's incomes.
I think there is a belief out there that things got bad but that we avoided disaster. Americans have not experienced the collapse of Social Security and Great Society programs. But they will. We have not yet had millions of people get stiffed on money they were counting on to put food in their mouths. Pols are still cooking the books and finding short term cash to cover this and that. It can't continue.
