I agree that the military will always pay up, but you know that the bubble can pop without all companies going under, right? Have you heard of the dot com bubble, for example? There are plenty of those companies around still, and yet, the bubble popped.

To be clear, I'm not claiming this bubble would be identical. All I'm saying is that not all companies would have to go under for it to pop. It's really the (wealthy) shareholders that get to decide when to pull the money, and that's what would cause a bubble to pop, not pure revenue. Shareholders want a return on investment, which is something that hasn't really happened yet (other than the circlejerk between big companies, I suppose).
