Actually, I do KNOW much of what is said in the OP.

And the part that is predictive is as sound as global warming--the consensus view of 90% of economists who are not paid to say something different.

The fact that you would think there's anything controversial in the OP shows just what a bubble DU is.

If you know a way for the hypothetical family to save $200,000 in a big hurry without reducing their spending please share because it would be a great help to almost everyone.

Do you think that 2006 asset valuation adjusted for inflation will return in our lifetime? If not, I don't understand why the OP seems far-fetched to you.
