Very well articulated Claeren. I think much the same as you do, although you are obviously much more knowledgeable about the details than I.

To sum up my feelings: Everybody wants more of the pie, but nobody wants to make pie, so we buy cheap pie from the rest of the world and put it on credit. When the credit looks to be running out, we up our credit limit and merrily keep on ordering pie, pie, and more pie.

The day will come, however, when the last bit of credit is used up, and then there's going to be a shortage of pie like you don't want to even imagine. Then it'll be off to the kitchen with our fatbodies to make our own damn pies, and by then we'd better hope we haven't forgotten the recipe.
