We have a very recent example of what happens when the money runs out, and that is the USSR.
The satellite countries began to ignore the central govt sending less revenue and retaining more power.
they couldn’t borrow anymore internationally.
I guess what is being suggested, is that, come the SHTF, the nation will fragment. Outsiders will be looked on with suspicion, and, perhaps new countries will emerge.
As I posted on this thread and others.
When you step back and really understand how the money flows, from and to, the Feds are a “Pass through entity”.
Middle men, criminal to be sure.
I say there are legislative measures that can be taken to “cut out” these middle men.
Those measures don’t need to be “Radical”. They just need to be firm.
