Same thing.
- ramesh31 3y ago>Same thing. You have to look at the alternatives. There is only one earth and there only a few countries on it with stable enough monetary policy to invest in "risk free". The US tops that list by a massive margin, even given all of our other issues. Can you name a single safer investment today than US Treasuries? And do you think that any other country on earth is able to maintain the stability that we can into the future?
- QuarterReptile 3y agoI like to think a primary goal of empire should be to burn out as slowly as possible, and citizens of an empire should work toward that outcome. Having said all that, no, I believe that the US will be the most stable large state for my entire lifetime. Just the same, I would like my children to live in a US and world that is as stable as the one my parents have had.
