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...

Meanwhile, in your own backyard -

@GuiltyBiStander Exactly.. Like I said, Americas collapse will hurt us.. It will hurt everyone.. But it will remove the $US as the reserve trade currency and take up to half the value out of the $US in purchasing powe (worst case). And that means it will make those holding $US very unhappy..They will almost certainly demand payment for further imports in another currency or some other for like gold. And thats only the start. They they come knocking with all the IOUs and othering terms on which they will keep supplying America. Make no mistake, this will be economic warefare designed to remove America as a global power. And they have all the economic firepower to do it..And with Trump in charge America has few allies..😷

No.

That's not "exactly what you said", and none of what you're spewing here is connected to any real data that holds up. In fact you've flipped so many times between "America is doomed by foreign debt, no I mean domestic creditors ...but Australia will be fine, except until the US wrecks us ... and I honestly only care about the numbers, but really think you deserve to be screwed by Trump" - that at this point I wouldn't trust you to predict sunrise tomorrow, or explain how a hammer works.

But thanks for the funhouse tour.

@GuiltyBiStander It isnt polite to tell you what I think of you, so I wont.. Thanks for the misquotes and misdirection. My arguments are clear. You are just being difficult, which I can now assume is doliberate. If you want to last word now would be the time. I can wait for time to prove me right. I'm done with you..🖕😷🖕
