Humans tend to get themselves into this predicament - hence the Biblical “Year of Jubilee” every half century. We’re gonna screw it up on a predictable basis, so just plan to hit reset.
I warned my son about that possibility when he was here Christmas.
And check out this thread...for some dialogue:
Obama, Senate Republicans reach agreement on fiscal cliff (All taxes, no cuts)
There’s a reckoning coming, no doubt about it. This country is occupied by two nations that absolutely loathe each other. The question is timing. What will be the spark? Will it be tomorrow, or will it be decades from now? One way of dealing with the uncertainty is to be absolutely sure who your friends are, and start digging now to identify potential future threats within your community. Which of your neighbors would be likely to support a regime drifting into tyranny? ID them and file it away in the back of your mind. Update every time you meet or learn about someone new, or when you have to correct initial data. It’s a slightly tinfoil-hat perspective to take, but having an advance notion of who to trust and who to frag could save your life in the chaos of civil conflict. Ugly thing to contemplate.

It could end through war, although that would be awful for a lot of people to suffer war over something not their doing.
A better solution would be to depose and remove the problem leaders. Instead of millions hurt and inconvenienced, hurt or killed, there are maybe 1-500 people who could be banished from the country and end the drama and problems. Perhaps more if the media is included.
Gasoline is still 20¢ a gallon, if you use silver dimes.
“But were talking about debts of entire sovereign nations here, so the tools used to ..take care of it “....
Extortion-Care,
which is the reason for the panic deal to push it through, and the imposter Roberts to gavel the final vote.
and a “tax” was decreed....
The number one debtor is going to attempt to secure it’s downgraded debt, on the shackled backs of decent U.S. citizens beginning in 2014.
They were actually counting on the “cliff” to coincide with 2014, to begin leveraging the average citizen, but it shows how fast (rate) the debt is accumulating.
Watch for coming Arbeitsziehungslager
Me too.
Could it happen again?
It will be the US vs. China. Time to pay the piper. You get into bed with the devil, and now the devil demands his piece, and you will pay dearly.
China is more apt to be the "Arsenal of Democracy" with us playing the part of Britain, and ? (Mexico, Canada, Nigeria, whoever) playing the Axis.
Except China will be supplying whoever is playing the Axis, too...
I’m thinking about taking bets on when obama signs an EO eliminating all nukes, just like he promised Putin. Then we will be totally defenseless. Maybe Russia is going to hit us hard and that’s why he won’t allow any adoptions.
I don't think they can make a bottle small enough....and even if they did, ya couldn't dump a nickle bag of peanuts into it.
Those people traded their independence to the State for a mess of pottage. It is their doing. War is their heritage.
They might, when the dollar has been devalued by 99% or so.
FWIW I’m in India, and I don’t see that much to indicate a major rise.
