A corrupted (financial/political) system always collapse. Politician alway trys to kick the can once more as if there was longer road ahead. There is no way to avoid that.
Ludwig von Mises said: there is no means of avoiding a final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system invovled.
As Washington puts a superficial patch on the deep financial issue, we are heading to the the final and total catastrophe. It may take several years, it may only take a short period time but the ultimate end game is the same.
