Andrew Neubauer buckles down and solves the economic crisis.

There is no way to get around this: our economy is flagging, failing and collapsing all around us.  People seem to be convinced that this is the end of our great nation.

Students, often victims of high-interest loans and substantial credit card debt, find themselves most at risk of our faltering economy and the limited post-graduation job prospects.  Some students can't even afford to go to college.   

Some so-called economic "experts" say that there is no easy fix for this broken economy and the doom that it seems to be spelling.

Andrew Neubauer, however, sees only tremendous opportunity.

The freezing of the commercial paper market, the rabid decline of the dollar, the credit default swap fallout, and the home lending crisis can all be solved with my patented quick-fix: we need to convert to the simpler, sweeter time of the SOVIET UNION!

Think of all the great things associated with Mother RUSSIA!  You don't have to think! The party will do all of that for you!  You don't need to worry about housing! You can live in a Glorious People's Hovel of Revolutionary Pride and Freedom!  Money is irrelevant, because the only thing you need to do is work on the communal farm for the party! You wouldn't even have to think! In fact, if you do, you'll probably end up in a salt mine of some sort.

The best part of this plan is that it works at all levels because literally any problem can be solved by the government dominating every aspect of your life. 

Am I serious? No, not really.  Do I see the US as completely doomed? No, probably not.  The greatest thing about this nation is the full-scale adoption of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking that has allowed us to extricate ourselves from this sort of thing before (see: 1930s, 1970s).  Are we, the future generation of this country, being made to take the biggest hit from the irresponsible actions of those who looked to make a quick buck?  Yes.  As a nation, we will recover from this, but the heaviest burden will be laid on students who took a chance on the education they couldn't afford.  The future of our country all too often is sacrificed in the now.
