Re: could US collapse like the USSR did ?
[ QUOTE ]
No way, countries don't just go and collapse. USSR collapsed because it was run by an extremely unnatural and inefficient regime, and was rotted out from the inside out. The country could no longer satisfy the basic needs of its population, which is kinda sucky for a communist government. The trouble that US is in, real and potential, does not even come close to USSR's troubles.

So if say perhaps,
1) Oil trading was shifted to euros vice $$$
then
2) China dumped its gazillionity Tbills back onto the market
then
3) $ plunges into rapid freefall
then
4) US econmy pluges into massive depression type recession
then
5) significant chunks of population can no longer afford to feed their families let alone their "lifestyle"
6) Government can longer even pay the military forces who now get to fight foreign wars whilst their families are starving and fighting back at home.
Yeah, pretty far fetched. Can't happen.
