That they can't stimulate the economic downturn away. We might be in another Great Depression. During that depression, it was not just one big downturn. There were many. The government tried many things (this is why we have social security and unemployment plus there were many public works projects) but excess and debt takes time to work off. I worry about people who do not have savings and jobs. It could change our political system in ways we don't anticipate.
