Reply #110: I agree but Amurica is still to fat, lazy and stupefied to do much... yet.

Amuricans will need much more pain. The hopeful thing is the greater the disparity of wealth perceived in a society, the more crime and danger there is. So, we do not have to be at Iraqi economics to see this meltdown happen. We just need the rich to keep on getting richer while the poor and middle class are sucked further and further down with basics such as clean water, air, food, shelter and healthcare denied more and more. As the corporations export more and more jobs, there will be less loyalists in the middle to keep the rising tide at bay. Illegal immigrants can only damm it up for so long.

Then.... Boom!!!

Unless real changes occur in our economics, corporations are reigned in and money taken out of politics, a Democratic administration will probably just delay the day of reckoning. In some ways, Bu$hitCo is bringing into sharp focus much faster what is coming down the pike in this century with Oil and other resource depletion coupled with rising countries like China. Instead of 2030-2050 timeframes, we will hit this shit in 2012 - 2020!
