Should we embrace a coming economic collapse? [View all]

Because it's almost a given we're overdue for one of those periodic capital market corrections like 2009. Even Trump's minions are worried about this.

And since in the last one --
No one from Wall Street went to jail
The Republicans launched the Tea Party to capitalize on it and put the blame on Obama when it was Bush and his ilk's fault
The Republicans are still attacking even the weak responses like Dodd-Frank with a goal to eradicate them...

what happens when THE FIRE NEXT TIME hits? (just saw an ad for the Baldwin film opening in Feb)

will it be 1932 again?
will there be an FDR emerging?

will the Tea Party protesters finally see the wolves in sheep's clothing? Will they go along with another bailout?
Will Dem's cave enough to give them bi-partisan cover or will they have b*lls enough to make the Republicans own it?


or will things turn even darker like Germany in 1933?
