[quote=barnaby33] America still is the greatest wealthiest nation on earth. Its economy is basically solid (except for our huge pileup of debt) and as a nation we are for less rigid in our economy than most. We will adapt albeit at a poorer level.
It may take a while but the end is not nigh. Unless of course you are a merchant of debt.

actually, not. there are many countries in Europe whose average standard of living is superior in terms of per cap income, health care, etc., so quit smokin weed son. besides, you left out the cost of empire and war waging, with expensive weapons, costs which none of these other countries have. factor those in, your argument is a huge loser.
