Time to step down and let someone else carry that load [/quote]
Wow, how inspiring. That’s the spirit! Got any candidate nations in mind? One you think will do as good or better than the U.S. has since say 1944?So sad the defeatism. Perhaps you actually hope for the chaotic future you predict, thinking that this will increase the value of your gold holdings. Seems a cold comfort.[/quote]
Perhaps you think that by continuing to denial what is now inevitable will give you some cold comfort. Look, you can fight the wave or you can roll with it. I happen to think this is a wave that has been building for a long time, and whatever the merits of being a superpower and regardless of how well the U.S. has performed that job up until now, the point is that the cycle has ended, and our time at the top of the heap is over. And no, I don’t think that’s such a bad thing in the long run. I’m sorry you would prefer to cling to the rotted hulk of what was once a great nation. I prefer to reset and re-boot and hope we can come up with something better in the process. You apparently have trouble accepting the fact that something valuable can come out of a system reboot. You apparently don’t believe that Americans can take the pain and are not resourceful and vibrant enough to reject the greed and excess that brought us to this place and forge a BETTER future. And your lack of faith is truly what is defeatist.
Stop clinging to the past and accept your future. And in the process of accepting it, you might consider actually preparing for it. Because nostalgia isn’t going to pay your bills or feed your face.

Not sure what’s going on or going to happen, but I’m glad I took 50% of my 401k last summer and bought silver and gold.[/quote]You are a very brave and very smart man, and I think you will be rewarded handsomely.

Participant[quote=martink110]Maybe the dollar losing reserve currency will be blessing. It will be cheaper to manufactor and export American goods. It will be too expensive to import goods, we’ll have to make them here. The US can let whatever the new reserve currency is pay for the United Nations and NATO and world hunger relief and all the other crap we pay for and we can remove our armies from Gemany and Japan. (Russia and China would love that) Lot’s more Americans at home, having to buy stuff – America will have to restart industrial manufacturing again! yeah![/quote]
Martin, I’m with you. This is going to be very painful, but it will work out best for everyone concerned – the rest of the world and us – in the end. The pressure of being a super power is too great to bear. Time to step down and let someone else carry that load and that debt. Ugh.
