It's a given anyway. If we-- either the government or private citizens-- stopped borrowing money like there's no tomorrow, we wouldn't be able to buy enough goods to support the people who produce them.

The only thing we can do is adopt policies that will slow the crash down so that we can buy some time to prepare for it. Of course... noone in the government is even remotely interested in making preparations, because that would be admitting that there's a problem. (And it would start a consumer panic which would probably accelerate things.)
