That may be part of it. But another part is the US deficit. There is no way that's sustainable. The Fed can't fix it; Congress has to. And do you see any reason to hope that Congress will?

I think there's zero chance that congress will fix it. It can't fix relatively easy, low-hanging fruit such as PBGC soundness and social security soundness, so I think there is little hope for anything else.

The problem is not congress itself but the peoples' lack of desire to hold members of congress accountable...
