[quote=CA renter](Unfortunately) I could not agree more with all your points, Allan. Any thoughts on possible solutions?[/quote]
CAR: I don’t. I see an increasing balkanization/ghettoization of the US, until we hit the crisis/inflection point (defined as a significant inflationary event, war, financial collapse of Eurozone/China, or the eventual crowding effect of debt service + entitlements).
The good news is that the US is really good during a crisis. Failing that, there’s always Canada.
