Recovery from addiction can be daunting

We can only hope that the outcome you wish for is what we get instead of something far more ominous as may be intended by the manipulators.

What is happening with our financial house of cards reminds me of a drug addict in their final stages.  Inside, they know they need to change their life and quit, and often they want to change, but they cannot bring themselves to escape the false high of their drug induced unreality and they attempt to escape facing up to their problem with more, more, more of the same drug and behavior that got them there in the first place.

Like a drug addict, our financial system will either die or else somehow reach a bottom short of death and begin a long and often painful journey back towards sanity and health.

I too hope for the best, but I fear the worst - because I know who the "pushers" are that whisper the sweet nothings in our ears as we lose our money, our jobs and our homes to enrich them as we keep feeding our our addiction.
