Was this part of it? As Steve Barry points out it worked all too well. Will our current buy, buy, buy culture once again shift to a save, save, save culture? Barry seems skeptical but it has happened before so it can, and IMHO will, happen again.

You could have been born in 1933, died an old age, and thought this was the greatest plan ever! Now we are stuck with the tab, as they went a wee bit too far and saddled us with 10 trillion in debt.
