Is it not obvious then, that after that, the country will have to declare bankruptcy? Or certainly will take forever to get out of that next economic crash, and it won't be pretty? The results could actually be as bad as if there was a civil war or a nuclear attack, it could easily be worse.
And yes, I have read here and there that the American government is actually expecting a civil war over everything that has happened in Iraq, the consequences of 9/11 on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and also, because of the oncoming crash.
We might still be slow to react when we lose our Constitution and our Freedom; however, when you cannot find any work anywhere and you are starving, after losing your home, suddenly you have a lot of time to think, to read about what actually happened and to act about such matters. I have no doubt that this civil war will take place, and it might still have nothing to do with the fact that this country has become a dictatorship.

It is important here to mention that I am not talking about planes crashing into a few buildings, bringing worldwide chaos into the stock exchange markets, or a few people making a few millions or billions as a consequence. I am talking about a much more devious long term plan of the whole capitalist system, which is sets at its core structure for everyone to fail and lose money.
Unless of course you are a big player, that you know the secret rules of success and you are privy to information no one else is. And if you are lucky, you might even help create chaos, working hand in hand with the government, to insure that you will make those billions you so desperately seek.
I remember only one sentence from that teacher I had for three semesters in a row in Economics. He said it only once. Recessions are just a transfer of money from some people to others. And whilst many are ruined, others becomes overnight billionaires.
Not just George W. Bush and his colleagues at the White House and at the Pentagon, but just about all those who finance their political campaigns and PR machine, might well have thought of a way to insure that this recession will pay off so wonderfully, it is all worth destroying the country and the planet in the process. And if it brings a crash in the financial markets worldwide, so be it, it is all worthwhile for their own financial interests and insatiable greed.
Not only capitalism is flawed, the whole government structure is as well. If you need more convincing on that point, read my article "Political parties must go in order to bring back democracy":

There is no need for me here to denounce what the Bush family and their friends have been doing for almost a century now, there are enough articles about that out there. It seems that even the mass media speaks about it at length, and yet no one reacts, no one is scandalized, no one is doing anything about it. It is as if we have just accepted that it is like that, and that there is nothing anyone can do but hope for the return of Jesus-Christ, who might once again rattle their golden cage.
I'm only hoping some people will keep in mind and investigate further if perhaps recessions are artificially created, as a means to insure that most investors will lose all their money every ten years or so, and if this money will go to larger fish in the financial markets. If this is so, and it is perhaps even already well known, we ought to make it quite clear to everyone, so they will stop investing for no good reason, since they will assuredly eventually lose their money.
And at that point, you get to understand, and you can no longer bury your head in the sand, that capitalism does not work and never did. All it ever did was to make the extra rich people even richer. And whilst they depend on the investments of smaller players, who will perhaps enjoy for a few years a good return on their investment, they will definitely eventually lose it all. So no one would in fact benefit from capitalism except a few rich people.
If this is true, our crime against humanity, that we let happen because of our ignorance and lack of action, will be much more serious than we could ever have imagined. This is not just killing one million Iraqis, or letting millions starve to death with this new worldwide famine, it will actually affect us all directly and leave us all in a hole.
As it means that, this time around, this coming crash could be worse than the one in 1929, and frankly we might just not recover. Add to this the environmental disaster of global warming and a Third World War looming over our heads, and it will be a miracle if humanity survives at all.
If somehow we could identify clearly how it is happening, and prove it, no one would ever trust the financial markets again; it could very well mean the end of capitalism, upon which everything we do is based, even the health care system. The legacy of the likes of the Bush family.
I know now why every ten or twelve years there is a recession. It takes about a decade for all the small investors to feel confident enough to invest all their money and their assets. Then they are ready to give it all away, and a few people are ready to take it.
