I hear ya, but it's so hard to picture this country in real trouble. I just can't make myself see a soup line downtown (or worse). I just worry about this mountain of debt we've gotten ourselves in. What happens if we just flat can't pay up? China needs us to buy all their crap right, so they wouldn't do anything to screw that up.............would they? I've heard one theory that at this point, the guvment might be "planning" on hyper inflation so that when the dollar is worthless, they will then pay off the debt that is in dollars. Then we would start rebuilding the dollar, or change to something else. Hell, I don't know.
