The logic of your first argument , as stupid and lacking facts as it was, has convinced me to leave you to your predictions. Have fun with your delusions.
This thread was opened with the teaser: "Some food for thought, stir the imaginative juices. What's possible, what isn't? What's happening already? Who's in denial/adding to the problem and who isn't?"
So........I added my two cents. I felt that my proposition that the U.S. would eventually be the property of China had some merit, considering that we were to present imaginative scenerios. What your problem with this thread might be is unknown.
Consider this: The SCAM behind NAIS - "Our Land: Collateral for the National Debt" By Derry Brownfield
You are a troll. You did not even read the original post of the originator of this thread. It was posted to get imaginative scenerios.
You just want to fight. I like a good scrap every once in a while.
I gave you a reasonable link and it now appears that you have not read it.
Why not drop the "Up" part from your nicki. It would be more apropos.

Give me one historical fact that a great power dissolved over debt. Lots of ways for that to happen but a debtor nation failing because it owes another country is absurd. What a bunch of hooey.
"Currencies, Culture And Chaos – If it is difficult to grasp the enormity of the numbers in this tale of hyper-inflation, it is far more difficult to grasp how it destroyed a culture, a nation and, almost, the world.
People’s savings were suddenly worthless. Pensions were meaningless. If you had a 400 mark monthly pension, you went from comfortable to penniless in a matter of months. People demanded to be paid daily so they would not have their wages devalued by a few days passing. Ultimately, they demanded their pay twice daily just to cover changes in trolley fare. People heated their homes by burning money instead of coal. (It was more plentiful and cheaper to get.)"
SC,
Now you fetching Russian economist for theories on how the US will end. Isn't this story about a year old? A little slow in your current events file?
Dummy Up, need an example of a Super Power dissolved because of debt? ROME
good article SC. I wonder if this will ever come to pass. Seems it has a lot of historical basis. I want to be in the new country with Texas - they can at least produce everything they need.

I noticed that the article was blatantly biased. Not worth consideration, really.
Many countries have defaulted on their debt and not wound up being posessed by another country. And our debt as percentage of GDP isn't as bad as the PIIGS or Japan right now.
Breakup of the US? Unlikely, but I do see it changing, more likely to be a Spanglish country instead of the old melting pot. And I do believe we will slowly lose our superpower status, but I don't think anyone will claim it, China & India have major hurdles to overcome before they can reach that level.
