America's future? [Your opinion]

[Iwanci Profile]

Me thinks that the situation with American debt is so dire that America will likely instigate a war of sorts to extinguish its obligations. It will need to do this before its people rise up and screw everything up, sorry folks but some people think you have a solution or that there is hope. Your government unfortunately sees a different picture. This is the reason why so many promises or proposed ‘solutions’ that seem plausible, logical and effective never see the day of light and are never implemented. The truth is that you have sold yourselves and there are only two ways out.

1/- Pay your debts – difficult because you have no money – difficult because they have you over a barrel – difficult because you now rely so much on your ‘partners’ that you are intertwined with their issues as well – difficult because the issues are so grave that every time you try and fix one issue you create several others. The complexities go on and on, and is the reason why there seems to be so much inaction by your government, they seriously do not know how to fix the problems without creating more issues that will lead to your uprising, which in itself is not the solution.

2/- Go to war and conquer the countries that you owe money to or are reliant on resources for.

Look carefully because option 2 is the easiest option, it won’t take much to convince a populace that is living on the edge to rise up against some other foe. This is the sleeper that may well awaken you my friends.

My opinions only mind you I could be totally wrong as I am not a political analyst, just sitting here minding my own business.

Cheers and good luck, mind you, you could all come and live in the land of milk and honey (Australia) but you will need to learn to speak English.  Joking… come on over.

If the stock market takes a strong hit below 9000,
we will see the second shoulder to the rec..er depression.

The government money is already through the tubes
and barely made a dent, the economy is about to stop dead still.

Agreed low, but then what? Keep printing more money so inflation hits an all time high and a loaf of bread costs about the same price as a small car?

I don’t know where it’s going my friend but it isn’t going be pretty, imo. The first thing the US government should do is stop the Chinese pegging their currency to yours. Then invest in your local production abilities, slow the imports (maybe increase your tariffs) and buy US made goods. Put up the barriers to cheap imports, control prices up to a certain level, get serious in the wars you are (and we are) all involved in, a big assault, or get the hell out and bring everyone home. Your country has enough problems on the home front to worry about.

There are so many issues to deal with it is almost impossible to go through them all. But something has to happen. I believe China now pretty much owns the US does it not? That’s the sentiment down here in Oz. So how do you get the monkey off your back? You can’t keep feeding it because it will just get heavier and become a greater burden, right? So you need to starve it or push it off. How that translates into a solution I don’t know, but I know that the easiest path is the one of least resistance, unfortunately for you guys (and us and the world) I don’t want us to go there.

Perhaps some divine intervention? A freak occurrence? I think your government must be working on a solution / scheme to address the issue, everything else seems to pale into insignificance besides this one issue of debt you have.

Of course maybe I just don’t know what I am talking about? That too is a possibility.

I read some books in the seventies predicting the fall of Russia and soon thereafter the fall of America (before the turn of the millennium)
It seemed like America did not fall, but actually it did. A revolution at that time or a drastic change at that time would have 'saved' America.
I think it's too late now, in a couple of years America will be turned into a fascist state, or devastated by internal conflicts.
