24. "willing to endure in order to rebalance the economy"

That is optimistic at best. This isn't a rebalancing, it is a detonation of the economy for no purpose and no gains. There is no silver lining. When it ends we will just have made enemies of the world for no purpose other than to flatter the mad fat king. Woot!
