I've been in America for about 12 years now, as much as I admire this country (I wish my country had had founding father with similiar passion and intelligence), it is absolutely undeniable that our crisis only tend to get worse. The best we can do is prepare ourselves for the worst. And people who think we can keep a currency that is a derivative of debt for too long are just dreaming. Check history people. Well, at least in my country things tend to get better for next 10 or 20 years I believe.
