A long list still mostly unfulfilled.

As one who has long observed that dated predictions of disasters almost never happen, I’m struck that at least the first item DID come true. Will be waiting (actively) for the rest.

Keep me informed as the list is fulfilled.

I dismissed it when I first read it too, back early this year - but I remembered it. Then when the economy started going in the dink I recalled the article and put it kinda on the distant radar. Then I read the cnbc article and my eyes grew a bit wider. The fact the idea is being floated is concerning.

While it's true that the list is mostly unfulfilled; how much additional debt to you think the government can take on without collapse? Before this latest crisis, we owed about 75 trillion!

I haven't expressed my concerns about this to even my wife, but it's clear to me the US government will soon be insolvent. We can expect runaway inflation ( like Germany in the 20s) as the Government prints more and more paper. The people's confidence may very well plummet in the near future, leading to the revolt mentioned in the list.
Whether Congress was briefed on this future forecast or not doesn't really matter.
