Federal bailout
Snowflakes drifting in the wind
Who can pay for heat?

(Yes, I know, you will be the warm one.)

I got me a Howe & Strauss book ("Generations") and I think they were right on the nose with their how-generations-cause-disaster-every-80-years thing, and I am not comforted by their projections. (Their more well-known book is The Fourth Turning, and they have a website. I borrowed Generations from the library, of course. I particularly like the part about how the generation right after a boom-y, awakening generation always gets stuck holding the bag and becomes forgotten and old in poverty. Good times.)
