Is an economic recovery possible if

10. Possibly. The problem I see is that once it has progressed to the point I think we're talking about,

we won't have the capital to do those things. The parasites aren't just walking away and leaving us to our own devices, they are burying us in debt to finance their world.

The inevitable resurgence of entrepreneurship will be mostly good and the major reduction in consumption will be good, but these things will not be taking place in a vacuum.

Look at what the first world did to South America and extrapolate that to the U.S. Will we be allowed the option of telling the financiers to fuck off? Are American prepared to live within our means on a national scale?

We could do very well all by ourselves in most respects, but we no longer have even the infrastructure to rebuild a manufacturing sector, our water, sanitation, power, and transportation infrastructures are antiquated at best and more commonly crumbling. And even our natural resources are being plundered at such a rate that there's no guarantee we will have enough left by the time they're through with us. We will be starting over and I'm not convinced that Americans are willing to do that.
