In my limited world view, I see just
two classes of people left in America these days – those who currently are
working and those who are not (for whatever reason). Percentage
wise, I think its about 50-50, with the working class slowly
disappearing as more and more citizens are encourage by the current
Administration to go on some form of welfare or entitlement program.
[And, who's paying for them? Actually no one is. How do you think we got
to 17 trillion in debt in the first place?]
Eventually, like any household that
lives under such a crushing load of debt, it will all fall down. (It has
to as there is no other country that can or would bail us out of
trouble). When this does occur, be it later in this decade or the next,
the fall will be terrible and swift! And, it's not just me saying
that either – you have to look no further than to the Government
Accounting Office itself to hear the very same predictions! This
quote was taken directly from the GAO's website: “GAO's federal
simulations show that absent policy changes, the federal
government faces a rapid and unsustainable growth in debt.”
So, what does 'unsustainable' mean for
the average working American of the near future? Allow me to put
forward a few ideas...
The US dollar will not survive as
the world's backup currency. China's Yuan Renminbi is most likely
to become the new backup. At which point our dollar will become
practically worthless and everyone would have to quickly learn the ins and
out of the barter system!
America would lose it's status as
a world power with all that that implies...
The wholesale cost of goods will
skyrocket and Americans will have to learn a whole new meaning to
the terms 'generic' and 'limited availability'!
The Health-care system many enjoy
today will collapse utterly, only to be replaced by a single payer
system which means little or no choice of doctor, long lines at the
clinics and a general downgrade in the overall quality of care. The
poor and the elderly will suffer the most.
The United States military machine
will be largely dismantled leaving American citizens completely
vulnerable to terrorists attacks. (Think of conditions in Syria
today and you'd be on the money).
Our international borders would
become almost completely porous as aliens of many nationalities
would freely cross on a daily basis. Big boons in slavery, drugs and
prostitution would ensue.
The Republic and the freedoms we
have all enjoyed for 238 years will be no more. In its place will be
a divided and torn collection of rouge leaders who will live or die
based on the whims of a succession of coupes. They will not serve you, you will serve them!
Cities, that are even today
teetering on insolvency, will collapse sends millions into the
countryside looking for food and sustenance. Large bands of gangs
will become common.
Diseases that were unheard of will
become much more common as even the most basic practices of
sanitation break down.
Life in America will become just
two things for most; brutal and short.
Wake up America! Time is getting
short.........
