This reminds one of the assumptions that underlay the policies and practices of the financial industry over the last ten years. The implications of BW2 and/or the Permanent Debt paradigms completely disintegrating (like the Cheap Credit/Maximum Leverage paradigms have done) should make these the top priorities of the U.S. Government. Instead, we may be hearing (again) down the road "No one could have predicted this would happen."
