Jen, we don't need to do a damn thing. Events are now transpiring which are being dictated by mathematics. As the number of unemployed increases, credit consumption contracts, the black/gray market (cash/barter) economies emerge which report/pay no income tax, and gov't service demands (UI, food, etc) skyrocket.

With or without multi-$trillion bailouts, the US cannot withstand the whipsaw of massive tax receipt short-falls and huge increases in demands for support. No one will buy our Treasuries to finance the deficits, and we can't print our way out without incurring hyper-inflation.

Just sit back and watch as events unfold; we are truly watching history in the making.

Sorry, but taking the pacifist role is not something I plan to do or have done and I would put myself to shame if I just excused current events as being historic. Nazi Germany was historic. The USSR was historic.

Watching the fall of this great country is history I don’t want to watch unfold.
