Agreed-

The liberal notion of massive deficit spending and lack of fiscal restraint will come home to roost and meter out severe economic consequences in the US.

No world reserve currency- no more infinite printing of money. That is when the game of musical chairs ends. Liberals, having destroyed the nation as we know it, of course, will blame conservatives.

This is what happens when the idiotic "'60s generation" is in control of the nation. That cohort has left chaos in its wake with every encounter.

The above is what all liberals will say when their support of uncontrolled deficit spending and fiscal irresponsibility finally deals the TKO to America. Liberals have destroyed the faith and credit of the US and will eliminate its standing as the world reserve currency due to fiscal idiocy and the belief that "the party" could go on forever without consequences.

Liberals, despite having poured gas on the tinder, and ignited the fire, will blame the fireman when the fire cannot be controlled.

Thankfully, those who will be most harmed by this lunacy will be democrat constituents. Sometimes you get what you deserve and votes have consequences.

That is true. When the money tree dries up things will get very ugly. The smirky democrats won't have other folks money to steal anymore. Other folks meaning our children and grandchildren to hand to their idiotic followers. Then what..........

Why do they then whine about the US's economy being damaged, government being dysfunctional, and its position as a world economic power being diminished.

Be happy. Take credit for the mess you set out to create.

You guys should write fairytales, just like this one.

What you didn't learn in school is that it is an occupied territory.

Quite true-

The libs are setting up the very people that they pretend to "support" with a very difficult, reduction in standards of living. Despite being the very cause of this disaster, liberals will blame republicans and conservatives, and still try to salvage political support from the ashes of the US. Whatever entities form, much like the breakup of the USSR, there will undoubtedly be at least one that hangs on to the "liberal promise". Of course, such a "nation" will attract any bums who do not want to work, urban criminals, illegal immigrants, and the uneducated. It will be a "Somalia in the former US" and a third world hell hole.

No state is going to want to be left "holding the bag" for all the reckless federal decisions. Who is going to pay for the consequences of these decisions? States will seek calm, safety, and the security of their citizens. They will leave the debt ridden hulk that was the US to avoid social chaos.

My opinion and I could be wrong. If the dollar loses reserve status you aint seen nothing yet. Social programs will be gone........bankrupt. We can't print dollars we can't pay for any of it. The only reason we can print right now is because countries have to buy up our treasuries to buy oil and that is why we fight wars in the middle east. Many don't pay attention to that. If countries don't need dollars the US will go bankrupt. Of course we won't have to fight wars in the middle east but we are to the point we as a country can't produce anything on our own as it's all been shipped offshore. Quite the mess these genius politicians have gotten us in........and no I'm not speaking just about Obama here...........the whole pathetic lot of em. They have ALL sold the US out.
When I was younger, I used to get all worked up over this stuff too. I considered my self an armchair economist, and would read all these articles and think that the world was always ending. But then it never did. Going back to the 90s, I bought a lot of gold (well, that part actually worked out well), and I waited for the dollar to collapse. Then I finally got tired of reading a bunch of hype that never really came to fruition, like the boy who cried wolf. So now I barely even pay attention to articles like this.

Eventually, somebody will be right. Maybe it will be you, and then you can tell me "I told you so." Or maybe you will get tired of it too...and then our kids will be right about it. Or maybe someone who knows what they are doing will get it right and there will be a smooth transition . Maybe the dollar goes out, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Who knows? I have stopped trying to figure it out. Now I just try to stay flexible and roll with the punches.
