Are we in trouble in America?

[socrattt]

I can’t help but think that this US meltdown, which is essentially a global meltdown will be distasterous in US. We seem inviting a terrorist attack on US soil during a period like this. We are going to be so weak with our soldiers in Iraq and our economy slumping. I almost wonder if all the sleeper cells in America are waiting for the day when the poop really hits the fan. I think the saying goes “hit them while their down”. What is everyone else’s take on this situation.

This crisis may not seem bad because we had two weeks of negative numbers in the market and one day bounces back to make everyone feel like something is going to change. 10 steps back and one step forward means we have a long time before any of these issues are fully addressed. I think we really are in trouble.

Financially Yes, Militarily No. This crisis will make US stronger as a nation, promote thrift, reduce debt, cut down waste, will bring back dignity to real labor. Economic crises are good for character building. Both for individuals and nations.

I have a long-standing worry that once the dollar drops near a potential tipping point that it might invite another terror attack on a US financial center. This would be bad.

However, at this point, we might (as a nation) become fed up with the various sponsors of these terror acts and actually retaliate in a meaningful way. We do posses more WMD’s then anyone else, after all.

once the dollar drops

My take on this is that once  the $ drops, we will be too busy fixing our own house and we won't be the world's policeman. With those entanglements severed, we won't be attractive to trouble makers. We may go back to the life between the World Wars.

And what if thats not the case anymore? This is the *big* prediction from Peter Schiff that actually has me worried (a little too bearish for me). He views American as a debt-laden caboose that is holding back the train that is the global economy. Once they cut it free they will soar forward while we retreat into irrelevance.
