The US Dollar rules the world, that's a big difference compared to whatever past scenario you are trying to project unto the present. Also Nuclear Weapons exist, shit has changed bro, there are more differences between then and now than there are similarities. A few state governments overspending isn't going to bring you down anytime soon, the USA is stronger than you think.

You're pre-disposition to viewing things as a catastrophe is what blinds you from this reality, you go looking for confirmation that the sky is falling, and don't even look at anything that would indicate the opposite. Yet you wonder why your predictions are so off, lulz.

No - looking at what's happening in my state is driving my world view....Your overconfidence in the US is blinding you.
Projecting what is happening to CT on the rest of the US, as dumb as it gets. You live in a bubble, stop projecting your own experiences on everyone else, everyone else does not think like you do, stop assuming that they do. You're a misfit, you're opinions and reactions to what is happening are not indicative of the rest of society.

This is why you don't understand why Democrats keep winning in CT, you project your views on the rest of your state, and then are confused when they vote differently. If people from Connecticut don't think like you do, what are the chances that all of America thinks the way you do? Not very high, yet you keep projecting on them anyway, and then you base your silly conclusions off of these projections.

Which is why you are so wrong all the time, you think everyone else is just like you, and you base your worldview off of that assumption, but they aren't just like you, in fact, they think very differently than you.

Lolz - no data to back your points....just blind faith in the almighty dollar and ad hominems....what's the US debt Capps? Think we're ever paying it back? Here's one item you conveniently ignore - what's the rate our debt is increasing? News flash - its exponential - explain how that won't lead to serious problems?

Why would you pay all the debt back? That would make no sense, your debt to GDP ratio isn't that bad, you're fronting like it is, just because the trend isn't improving, clown show. Talk to me when you near Japan territory, because with King Dollar, you have more leeway to have a bad debt to GDP ratio than any other nation, yet you cry that the sky is falling when you are nowhere near collapse.

I think there is a good chance an alternate international currency will develop. Something with intrinsic value and probably tied to the energy markets somehow.

OPEC could create a currency right now if they wanted to.

It's not to me to prove you wrong, the burden of proof is on you, with your ridiculous prediction. Asking me to prove the existence of a negative, is far more fallacious than any argument I've presented.

I am serious. OPEC could create a precious metal-based currency right the fuck now if they want to, and they have good reasons to do it. Whatever currency oil is sold in will matter most. Right now, LSC is sold on the NYME in USD. But OPEC could require payment in a precious metal-backed currency of their own making instead upon delivery. That would make futures markets fucking complicated as fuck, but it would benefit them greatly.

USD is not really that great of a deal for the world because of the growing debt and certainty that we eventually will just hyperinflate to pay it all off.

The thing that's coming.. America is going to fuck nations like China right in the ass by hyperinflating. The USD will stop being the default reserve currency. OPEC will fuck everybody by going to gold instead of petrodollars (or even petroeuros).

A fiat reserve currency is fucking stupid. Everybody who took macroeconomics knows this (or should).
