Never mind all the bleak stuff I’ve been writing lately. A solution is at hand! All we need to do is use some of those faster-than-light neutrinos to send a message to the past, warning them not to deregulate (and not to let Greece join the euro).
Failing that, there are always those fake space aliens.

We eagerly await confirmation and verification that the CERN scientists are seeking, even though Fermi Instituters say ' this will cause us a lot of problems '.
In which case I suggest that you send back the message ... to stop depressing us so much! : )
I mean, if you are looking for a mono causal answer to everything, I'm pretty sure TJ Hooker is it.

Even if it were proven possible and for the common good, I'm sure the Tea Party would ensure there would be no "gubment funding" of such a science project. Not only would they abhor the role of government in research but they would also fear that we could go back far enough to prove the world wasn't built inside of a week and that creatures evolve. Well... most creatures.
That unfairness is represented by those who will tell you strawberries have thorns, apples worms—that danger lurks everywhere. Then calls come for more sacrifice to invisible fairies against the real threat of Congress’ self-inflicted collapse.
And those in government who sacrifice the grave responsibilities of freedom, who say believe in fairies, would have us think they are fighting for truth."

However, I was also thinking, that if we had not had a big trade deficit, that maybe the housing bubble would have made the labor market much tighter, fueling inflation, and popping the bubble much, much sooner.
Not arguing against Brooksley Born, or regulation (I'm for it), just wondering about the additional necessary ingredient for this fiasco.
Speaking of the trade deficit with China: What do you think of Warren Buffett's "Voucher Plan", to balance trade with China? Obviously, you would need to do something like that very gradually, like issue vouchers with a variable "exchange rate", and start the program with zero effect, and gradually change the exchange rate until trade is balanced. Have you looked at this idea? Are there obvious reasons it won't work?
