Then with the artificial housing boom, mortgages and refinancing allowed the consumer to continue spend more and more money he didn't have. Now the easy credit is gone and the housing market has collapsed. All that imaginary wealth is gone. Vanished. Many, if not most, Americans are now bankrupt or have a negative personal savings rate. Companies are dropping like flies, and it will get much worse after this Christmas. Unemployment is about to skyrocket. With consumer spending making up 70% of the US economy, I think we all know where this is heading. Everything which we thought was, really wasn't after all.
So what's next?

I'm still holding out for the aliens will save us theory.
Rather than blow us up, maybe they'll buy the planet off us and we'll go through another short term economic boom.
Maybe more people will join the military to get work and benefits. That would solve the troop shortage, but give us a lot of untrained personnel. Maybe we wage more wars to keep the military industrial complex fully funded and providing more jobs.

Wouldn't this just speed up inflation since the military is non-self liquidating?

If you find the right enemy they will take care of the liquidation part.
