the war, most Americans were better off than they were before its<BR>> >start. Yes, the national debt ballooned to 120 percent of GDP.

For a generation the growth of the US economy<BR>> >has been disproportionately driven by the availability of cheap<BR>> >consumer goods and
investment credit. This system, which peaked with<BR>> >the rise of the securitization of highly risky sub-prime mortgages<BR>> >in the last few years, enabled an investment system to emerge in<BR>> >which the debt to equity ratio was an outstanding, and totally<BR>> >unsustainable, 100 to one.<BR>> ><BR>> >As Nouriel Roubini, a New York University economist who was among<BR>> >the first to predict the collapse we are now experiencing, explains<BR>> >it, the largely unregulated debt system created a "credit chain".<BR>> ><BR>> >This debt-to-equity ratio was so unstable that even a one per cent<BR>> >fall in the price of the final investment at the end of the chain<BR>> >"wipes out the initial capital and creates a chain of margin calls<BR>> >that unravel this debt house of cards".<BR>> ><BR>> >The world economy similarly depended on a growth formula based on
a<BR>> >debt-equity ratio of five to one.
