"A continued sharp depletion would therefore likely drive prices higher, ultimately curbing consumption and ​alleviating some of the strain." Curbing consumption is a euphemism for driving consumers into even more debt, combined with massive layoffs. Alleviating some of the strain is econ-speak for Wall St continuing to enjoy huge profits.
