Pretty much what should have happened in 2008, except the government decided to funnel money into dying banks and companies, and not remove the people who broke the economy. Rather, keep kicking the can down the road until the bubble bursts again, and it's someone else's problem. The debt is the same way. We're not fixing it. We're just rising the ceiling, and kicking the damn can.
And you seriously think that the system will actually allow itself to be changed as it breaks down? Because, I got news for you, it already is breaking down, Trump and company are either immanetizing the eschaton or are just plain making it happen. And scroll to 2:22 in the video to see how the Republicans are reacting to it:
And if the neoliberal ideals of Barack Obama were just too far left for them to bear and onerous enough to them that they were willing to come close to tanking the economy and defaulting on the national debt multiple times, I have to admit that there’s a very good chance the same will happen with Bernie.
So, be prepared for the possibility that literally the only choices are that the Democrats will keep kicking the can up the road or the Republicans basically making America like this:
Why yes, that does suck.
