How do we get out of this mess?
Maybe on the other side of a depression?

How long did people think 0% interest to the banks would last? I guess when people will spend on a 22% credit card money that the bank gets a 0%, the general financial understanding of citizens is pretty low.

The Fed kept things afloat for a good long time. Maybe they’re running out of magic tricks and snake oil potions.

I agree with you that the Fed was using magic, tricks and smoke and mirrors, eventually will all have to pay in some manner or another for recklessness.

You can't keep spending more than you take in and you can't save the world if you can't solve your own problems first.

I saw some headlines that other banks were jumping in to stabilize failing banks. I didn’t read the articles yet but my gut reaction is that this is probably as bad as a government bailout. The savior banks are just insulating themselves with “too big to fail” status.

Or maybe they're just trying to save a run on the banks for everyone including themselves

They are chipping in to a total of 30 billion what I heard.

Can you tell me when the last time US isolationism has been good for the nation or the world? In reality, being the worlds lone superpower might mean the world’s problems are our problems.
