could US collapse like the USSR did ?
 
With all the overprinting of $ catching up and the US about to go into recession, is it possible for them to collapse like the USSR are did ? I mean they are pretty much bankrupt and that's why their borrowing so much $. What does the US have to fall back on other than selling military weapons? I mean they've shipped so many jobs overseas. Would they be less likely to collapse because they have privitized a lot of things unlike the USSR ? Did the USSR have inflation and overprinting of $ like the US does ?

i believe so. The U.S. has bitten off more than it can chew and we will soon see a depression that will make 1929 look like 1995. And we will party like its 1999.


i don't know what i'm talking about..

Shipping jobs overseas is good for the economy, but that's a whole different topic.

We certainly could collapse. The monteary system is a scam. Socialized health care would be a big step towards implosion.

Don't any of you socialized healthcare advocates realize that your medical breakthroughs are coming on the backs of my private health insurance dollars?

And no, I don't think we could collapse like the USSR did. Before that happened, I think the GOP would finally get off its collective asses and do something about the rapid degridation of the fabric of our society.
