I heard something along the lines of what you've mentioned here, but wasn't sure at the time.

Personally, I cannot fathom how the economy got to that point. Surely, after "early" Indications of economic failure, the government could've formulated strategies to prevent It's downfall. I realize It's easier said than done, but I'm a firm believer that preventative measures can always be Implemented (to some degree) In any situation.

Some govs like to do short term quick fixes than long terms fixes that actually solve a problem. Short term fixes normally keep people happy because it looks as though you're working on the issue but in actual fact, it's made it worse. Almost like getting a loan, great way to pay for something now but the bill is even higher later. Perhaps this is what happened? xD
