Breaking the rules wont chnge the fundmental laws that drives economies - it will, as has been said, just put off the inevitable.
BTW, when I said "spoken like someone from the inside" - it wasnt a compliment, some of you guys really have the same misguided enthusiasm and belief in "broken rules" that some of the "insiders" I got know who used to work for Enron.
Each one of them ended up falling and failing along with their house of cards - just because you "believe it will work" doesnt mean it will
Hopefully you some simple assets to help you survive the coming years - things like a paid off house, zero balance credit cards nd a lifestyle that is easily trimmed to eastern european standards of comfort

These same people have played a huge part in the current economic situation - what makes you think they will not fuck it up as they try "save" it?
