Have you given any thought to what would happen to the world economy should America announce a default on its debt?There would be nothing left, nothing at all.
At a minimum, the world is on a path (from which there is no escape) like that of France under John Law, England during the South Sea Bubble, or Holland during the Tulip mania. And that's if were lucky. If we're not, we're following the path of the Roman Empire.
