Right. I mean, heck, any financial collapse I ever heard of was a partial collapse. A complete collapse would mean that money became totally worthless, everyone lost everything they had, the marketing economy ground to a halt, and society disintegrated into total chaos with people fighting in the street for scraps of food...

Neither Obama nor Bush would have been able to find any ready solution to a situation like that.

All this longwinded bitching and bellyaching over whether someone said the economy "collapsed" or someone didn't say the economy collapsed has been a meaningless waste of keystrokes. ;-) An exercise akin to emptying the Atlantic ocean with a spade or peeling off the Earth's crust with a spoon. Useless. Futile. Vain. Not to mention... downright silly.
