I'm presently reading "Too Much Magic" by J.H. Kunstler. This book goes
into far more detail than his earlier "The Long Emergency", and justifiably as
much has happened since the earlier work.
Remember the great housing bust back in 2008? The federal government
"solved" it by buying up the worthless defaulted mortages. Guess how much that
cost? Try $7.7 trillion. Yes, trillion. That's a thousand billion, or a
million million. To put it in perspective, it's a football field covered in
$100 bills six feet deep. And we, the taxpayers, still have to service that
debt for bloody ever.
