Bob  I hope you are around when it happens.
We can play music on the deck as the US goes down.

Rome was destroyed by mob rule. The mob simply voted themselves funds
from the public chest
until theren't enough gold left to pay the troops to protect the empire.
This is what is happening in
the USA now.

The US treasury has been looted so badly that as soon as potential
investors realize that "the
emperor has no clothes" it will be all over. The public debt is so great
here that no amount of taxation
can restore a tolerable balance, and anyone with a clear head knows it
will never be paid back with
specie (real money, i.e. gold), only more fake (paper money).

The present US system is a "Ponsi" scheme; new funds are used to assuage
new investers, so that
nobody notices that there is no depth. When the real war breaks out
against an oil-funded nuclear
Iran, Pakistan, and No Korea, there will be no funds available to  
fight it.

Luckily, my health isn't very good, so I will be gone before I see this
happen. I give us about 5-7 years
here.
