And it is possible to see "why" all these things have been happening once you understand that the country has been getting poorer and poorer for some time and more and more in debt. In other words, the USA in an Empire in decline. Each and every aspect of life in the US is a little bit worse every year. This has been a process since I believe 1973 when US went out of the gold standard. Rich nations, creditor nations, want a gold standard. Because they want their debt to be repaid in gold, not paper. Once the economy started going down and be more and more dependent on debt and cheap credit -- that's precisely when all the other things started going down. The solution is bankruptcy, to be able to start over from scratch.

>The solution is bankruptcy, to be able to start over from scratch. I believe it has more to do with the unfettered rise of the military-industrial complex (including banking/finance), which has siezed near complete control of our political machinery. We have become a corporate state, wherein politicians are fully purchasable and policy is made for a narrow set of interests vs. for the people. If this is not changed, then these same powers will sieze control again after a bankruptcy reset.

  My understanding is the bankruptcy will have huge impact on the society. There could be a revolution. Favorably, a revolution in which banisters among other traitors (i.e. constitution destroyers and haters who are in Office) hanged by an angry mob. Like 2nd American Revolution. USSR bankruptcy caused plenty of revolutions in the whole region. People are calm and don't care - exactly like the article implies - till there are three missing meals. Hungry stomach makes them go to the streets and revolt. Not another news about the Government going crazy.
