> Please enlighten us! Is there a crisis coming


Depends on how you envision what a "crisis" is.

Some people think that not having place markers at the banquet table is a 
crisis.  And others think that running out of chips and beer during the 
World Series or Superbowl is a crisis.

And yes, there are quite more serious issues out there that will (if not 
already) be impacting different parts of the country and/or world.

It may be that, like running out of toilet paper while sitting on the 
commode, be a more localized crisis.  Or it may be more regional in scope, 
like the current drought and water shortage in the southeastern US.






> and if so... who is to blame?


Generally you can always point to the folks IN the crisis for most of the 
blame.  Always make sure you have place markers, chips and beer if that is 
important to you.  Always check to be sure the replacement roll is close at 
hand before you drop your pants and take a seat.  Pace your personal 
consumption of limited resources (be it cash, water, food, air, etc) to get 
you through whatever life throws at you.


To the possible point of the OP's post, is the a looming financial crisis? 
Maybe so, depends on if you created one for yourself or not.

But, for the people who haven't put themselves in that situation, there's no 
looming crisis, although there may be some negative impact from the other 
personal crisis ongoing around them with friends, family, co-workers, 
customers & clients, suppliers, etc and so on.

But, for every crisis, there is opportunity.  So those poised to take 
advantage of someone else's "crisis" may find a boon for themselves.
