One of the conclusions that I try to coax, lead, and/or nudge people towards is acceptance of the fact that the economy can't be fixed.

a couple years back when everything really started going to shit and the red and blue teams and their respective cheerleaders were casting hysterical blame back and forth at one another whilst simultaneously assuring us, the scared sheep, they they and they alone knew how to fix it, i looked around for a few voices of reason who could tell me what was really happening.
while i found several--peter schiff and gerald celente among them--chris martenson turned out to be the guy i was looking for. he's not an ideologue; rather, he's a scientist, and taking his "crash course" was not only among the most productive and eye-opening afternoons i've ever spent, it's also one of the reasons i drink [
try it--it's free, it's broken down into easy, doable doses, and i promise once you're done, you won't ever look at the world the same way again].
since then, i've come to depend on his analysis--he strips away all the bullshit like no one else. a case in point would be the recent post from which the above quote was taken.
read it here--it won't take long, and in a few paragraphs, and after looking at a couple simple charts, you'll understand for yourself what the paul krugmans of the world simply refuse to see, let alone acknowledge.
it really just comes down to math, folks--it's that simple. the world as we know it is about to change forever, and the sooner you accept that fact, the more time you'll have to prepare for what's coming.
