2. You know, what has been propped up all these years is an unsustainable lifestyle. |

Even a "modest" middle-class level of consumption, by American standards, is good for only a few decades, and then only on the backs of subsistence workers (slaves, sharecroppers, migrants, now foreign factory workers) and the depletion of non-renewable resources.
They cooked the books long enough to fool two or three GENERATIONS of Americans into thinking this is all normal.
