I too wonder what the end game is. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better that we had another Great Depression. It would seem the other option is that we incrementally sink into a two class society, like many other countries throughout the world. Then again, could it be that it's just too late? When the last depression happened, we had a country where people stood up for workers' rights. The Triangle Factory Fire of 1911 is one of the events that kicked off the American labor movement. Something like that happens now and nobody even cares. It's just another breaking news story on CNN. So, would a depression even prompt the working class to stick together and demand another New Deal is implemented, or would everyone just turn on each other, fight to keep whatever crumbs they have? The future looks bleak.
