I don't see how it becomes a runaway train, esp. w/ the congressional gridlock we have now. There's no statesmanship, no concern for the people of America, just the top 1%, so they'll probably come out okay. They won't starve or be on bread-lines. Everyone else though will suffer tremendously. If all recurring payments just froze...for 1 year. If we locked down like Europe. We'd have had a better time. Now it's a shitfest just waiting. I'm certain some people who are wealthy/powerful see it for what it is, and also already have plans on how to become even richer/more powerful as a result.
