Well...it's moving in the right direction, although I'd hardly call it "solved."

Though this is a best case scenario we're using here. This is assuming that there are no new wars started, or new government spending programs, or another recession that would then prompt more fiscal policy.

I have difficulty calling any problem solved when all that's happened is the rate at which said problem's becoming worse is slowly decreasing, especially when that problem already happens to be $16 trillion big at the time.
