The US economy has been on life support for years especially since the
bank bailout. They used "quantitative easing" to cover it up. That can
no longer be done. Trump can't do much about it. Neither could have
Clinton. Sanders might have had a way or just made it clear to begin
with that the crash was coming.
At the end of the 1970s we had it right. Downsize and live
realistically. The bumper stick "live simply so others can simply
live." These days it's more like "live simply so you can simply live."
Then Reagan came along and screwed things up.

My feeling is that vanity projects like going to Mars are going to get

because of their exploited labor will not be around so crops will go
to waste unless Billy Bob gets off his lazy, NASCAR ass and works.
