So whats this all about???

I am far from being an economist, but in the last year or so I have learned a little here and there.

I think I am just looking for a bottom line as to what exactly is going on with our market.

With all of these bail-outs going on and a seemingly an impending crash on the horizon, Is this just the elites giving up on an old system? Have they overextended themselves with ongoing wars and are going broke themselves?

Please shed some light on this!
