“We may be able to annex Mexico without firing a shot. It’s pretty much a failed state anyway”
Now, THAT’s what we need! /sarc
Mexico’s problem is it’s polical and legal system.
It would increase tremendously in value if it were part of the US.
The world would fight to invest there.
Just putting us Boomers there would save social security trillions. Plenty of jobs for Mexicans and Americans building the housing for us-take the rent directly out of checks- verry humane.
We could rename it Sudetenland!
But, seriously, war is historically a very likely outcome when a militarily powerful nation goes broke.
There are better choices for dealing with our financial problems but it bothers me that every one ignores the elephant in the room in these discussions.
