> Care to put a number of years on that?

I'm not a soothsayer; I'm not trying to time anything. I'm saying the steering wheel and pedals have come off the car and it's going 80 and so in the coming months and years, this won't end well.

It seems to me that the discussion is the car, not what day of the week it will hit the wall.

And my answer is, no, the car won't hit the wall - not in any amount of time that would make it reasonable to conclude that your prediction was correct.

(Or at least, we won't hit that wall. There are other walls that we are likely to hit before 2040, but the gold standard isn't one.)
