Quote from zdreg:
a typical and very incisive and thoughtful comment from random....
Indeed.
I've lived through at least a half dozen of these "cataclysmic" fiscal events. In each case, the sun rose the next day, life continued on, and within months, if not weeks, the "cataclysmic" had morphed into the "already forgotten".
So, yes, it's a Yawn Level Event, just another paragraph in a long essay titled "More of the Same".
Cheers.
