Unsustainable in every way
And forever more, that's how it will stay
That's why insane debt is so incredible
That something so unsustainable
Thinks that we're unsustainable too.

Fire him? Taleb is so coy. Why not sick the drones on Bernanke just before he hits Ctrl-P and say he was an "imminent threat" to the U.S.? Oh, that's right. The U.S. is a kleptocracy and Bernanke's here to help.
