Do notice that tomatoes aren't the same, some taste better than others (seasonal) but certainly not the same as even 15 years ago. OTOH, those we grow ourselves (or at my DIL's) are still great.
Don't disagree that we are in for a financial problem, at some time, when the debt catches up to us, assets are unloaded to pay/satisfy debt and spiral goes downward. Don't know whether it will be a gradual or more wicked dive. Just don't think it will end up in a 1929-30's type economic disaster. Could be, just don't think it will. Much more likely to be a slower decline coupled with a severe shock or two, or lack of growth.
