An economy whose consumption is largely sustained by debt is sick, not healthy. It’s just a matter of time before the house of cards comes tumbling down. No lessons were learned from 2008. That was merely a growth pang of the total economic bubble that has been inflating for a few decades now. The “solutions” that brought us out of 2008 were nothing more than band-aids. Much of the fiscal and economic policy of the last number of years has merely pushed off until later the reckoning that will eventually come. I hope I’m wrong.
