We are going to have another one, you simply can't print money and expect other countries to return labor and resources in exchange for paper forever.

This is all coming off like a self fulfilling prophecy. Do we end up blaming the Russians for the next crash (which will likely be a duzy?). Then use it to get the population to go to war with Russia?
