The thinking in 2008 and 2009 was myopic in that the thinking was that the crisis was just another crisis that could be dealt with and the economy would within a reasonable amount of time return to what had been before. Over time those notions have been met with a growing awareness with every disappointment that the economic landscape had irrevocably changed from what had been normal before.
The truth of the matter is that the block is cracked and we are on the back side of the track dumping oil at an alarming rate. It is just a matter of time before the motor throws a rod right through the block and the whole motor just seizes.
In other word there is no fixing it, there just is the way forward with a failure of the system in the future to be replaced with another paradigm. The only question is will we be able to coast into the pits or will the motor blow apart on the track spewing parts in every direction?
