It's a matter of financial capitalists _taking_ enough rope to hang
themselves (egged on by most economists). Of course, at present, the
financiers are dancing above the open trapdoor in the hanging
platform, dancing in the wind and grasping at the noose, trying to get
us to shoot the rope (as in "the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly") and pay
the cost of their self-destruction.
