One observation, which I make for completeness, not to start a flame war, is that if #5 is self reliance, then there is a #6 which should be added to the list even if it is somewhat hypothetical in the modern world and if only for discussion.

# 6 Immigrate. It is what most of our forefathers did when they lived in Europe, Asia and elsewhere and why they came to the colonies or the USA. They looked at their increasing poverty, limits on freedom and opportunity, government oppression, restriction of religion and conscience, burdensome taxation and they immigrated.

If the USA is truly dead, so that "America" is no more, then what is left is a piece of ground and a country that is financially insolvent. Unlike the old USSR you can still leave, it is not easy but that door is not yet closed. What made America great is not the dirt under your feet but its freedom (both personal and religious) and opportunity. When that ceases, and it is rapidly vanishing, immigrating is an option.
