Whether the author of the above article realizes it or not, the notion that the current economic collapse is merely the consequence of "bills coming due" for having lived "far beyond our means" is simply a way of
shifting blame from where it belongs -- on the
financial terrorists who
engineered this collapse in the first place -- to where it does
not belong -- on the lower- and middle-class victims of the collapse.
Contrary to what those who've fallen prey to
Malthusian propaganda would have everyone believe, the problem is not that "we" have been "living" beyond our means, but that
ruling-class oligarchs have been
parasitizing us beyond our means.
