That would be future tense usage of the word?
I believe a word used in past tense is probably in order...[/quote]
Cracka please...what we've seen in the last 3 years was just a preview.
I personally think the powers that be will keep propping up the system for a few more years. My guess is that the real huge crash will come once currency goes electronic. It already is, to an extent. The Federal Reserve just hits a few buttons on a computer and creates billions of dollars. All really big money transfers are done through computer. No actual cash ever changes hands. And banks have been loaning out money they don't actually have for like 100 years now. Fractional reserve lending and the abandonment of the gold standard have turned the monetary systems of the entire world into a house of cards.
