and as I often point out, the country has been here before, although it seems to get worse every time it happens and no one in power has ever seemed able to catch a clue while their own cash flow is positive.

Reforms have only really happened when the whole thing has collapsed, otherwise they're the window dressing reforms that happened after a partial collapse like the one in 2008--half assed, half hearted, and overturned at the earliest possible moment.
