No way forward for America

Having watched the smoke clear and the dust settle a little, I asked myself the question, "What happens next for America?" And there are no acceptable options. None.. America was on life support with printed currency. Chinese manufacturing and Arab oil, while the world admired the Emperors new clothes.. But thats gone now, with the government of "Evil McNasty" about to take over and bury the rotting body..America is about to become a street hooker for the few rich people left and its not going to be pretty.. And there is no escape. Even the fanciful idea of rounding up and shooting the facists before they take over is a complete betrayal of American values..America sold its place in the future of the world and it is the fault of American voters...

You better tell all the economic experts who say the US economy is leading the world that you want to set them straight. Or tell the energy experts that, while we now produce more energy than we use, we're failing there, too. Or that the average per capita income in America's poorest state is higher than the average per capita income in the UK and dozens of other countries.

Of course, what Trumpism will do to that, who knows. Even Musk has predicted "hard times" coming for the average American once Trump's in office.

@ChipmunkErnie Allow me to reprint the reply I just made to another comment to you, since it works so well.
"You are missing two vital points. All of your numbers a based on growing $Trillions of foreign debt that WILL need to be paid bak.. and the dollars you are quoting and speanding for your own good numbers are being devalued by continuing to print money with no underlying value. Pen and Teller can explain the trick to you..😷"
