The big question for us is what do we do when over a billion people go broke and suddenly stop buying U.S. assets?

We can trust the Fed to print more money and buy our debt. That will save us. /s

Naw, imho those days are in the rear-view mirror.  

Was thinking though that maybe we need to imagine a falling China bringing down Asia and Europe.  Then again we all got along fine w/o China for decades so maybe we can take care of ourselves while they get their act together.  Something else is that if anyone says China's 'too big to fail', then they'll have to realize China's also too big to be helped.
