How long until the government collapse??

[Werewolf]

Just taking a general poll and wondering if you think the U.S. will collapse until it's own weight/size and debt burden?

It's gonna happen but not within 15 years.

25 maybe but more like 40 or 50.

But it's not important for ALL the states to stay together. They only had 13 when the Federalist Papers were written. I think we could shed a few and be fine.

Which few?

 

[Werewolf]

Never. All we have to do is just keep printing money.

Yeah...
That'll work! NOT!

You may want to read a bit about post WWI German history or the history of Argentina in the late 70's and then revisit your contention.

... Maybe I should keep the AR......

At the very least save it for your children or grand children.

I've always suggested that the U.S. be split into 5 separate "countries" which should be miniature versions of our current Federal government. Then the 5 Presidents (who would serve 5 year terms) would have a supra-national pentumvirate council, with rotating one years chairmanship.

I feel like separating national politics down into regional segments would fix some of the issues we have with the electoral college now.

Yes I have a 100,000.00 German note from 1922. Worth about $5.00.

I have a bunch of pre-WW1 10k Reichsmark notes, does that mean they're still honored and I'm rich off the interest?

Aliens will invade either from outer space (or Mexico), will befriend us, (like we did to the Indians) and will enslave us and take everything we have.

Some people hope it will happen to give their lives meaning. The government is never going to collapse, but some folks sure make a good living keeping the rest of you stirred up. How do I get in on that action?
