"Rebellion is always an option!!"--Jim Robinson
And, of course, secession.
Hadn’t thought of those two.
Here’s two more:
The people become sullen and wander around wearing only expressions of sadness and despair on their faces.
And of course, WE DIE!
Soveriegn debt default and then secession. I may be wrong, but if the U.S. is forced to default on it’s debt obligations, (a giant reset button), it may well provide the impetus needed for many states to opt out of the Union. And no, at that point, I don’t think the stinkin’ Feds will either care to do anything about it nor have the means to do anything about it.
