I'd take economy destroyed rather than our country destroyed!!!
If our economy is destroyed, the resulting social explosion in America will mean its destruction, or at best its conversion into a full-out dictatorship to restore public order.
You think our beknighted homies will just sit quietly in the 'hood, in the dark, freezing, with no food in the fridge and no gas in the ride? All of our cities will look like Fallujah one month after the lights go out.
