I agree. And that will be even more of an incentive for the government to justify their seizure. They will have to “take control in order to stabilize” things. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Trump won’t be for this, I suppose. But he may be talked into it, especially if things get particularly bad. Congress sure will be for it, especially in a crisis. Moreover, the US owes over 20% of the world’s debt, and over half of that debt is owed to other nations or entities outside the US. In a meltdown, no one will be “reasonable.”
