#4 "Government By Consensus"

You may have a few folks in this group that actually understand how an economy is supposed to work. The rest of them.....well, it doesn't bode well.

I still blame this economic mess on the "Wharton School Economics" that became popular in the early sixties that "it's all about Leverage"
(loose translation - "Don't pay your bills, that's your 'hold' over your creditors").

The rest is history.
