Our cocaine epidemic may bring a crash worse than any on Wall Street

SHOULD anyone care if people were stupid enough to pay inflated prices for property in recent years? Sure, this provided employment in the construction industry and that provided extra tax revenue.

The country never had it so good and the Government squandered millions with abandon.

It all seems so reminiscent of the Wall Street stock market crash in the 1920s. What happened there did not seem so bad to many people at the time. It was only in the following years, when the Great Depression set in, that society had to face the real crisis.
