econ 2.0: despite the frenzy of fear I think many Americans take the view like crazy 8 up there. We all knew it wasn’t sustainable to continue deficit spending for our whole lives and aren’t really surprised that changing course is tough and a little scary. I mean, how many posters today have thought something like “social security will be gone when I get there”. Fortunately there is time to see how things work out and also to make a course correction if today’s strategy doesn’t go well.
