Instead of a dollar collapse, imagine a USD which is worth about 30-50% less.

Euro would be about $1.70

JPY about 80 for a dollar - about the 20-30 year high.

Gold at $550
Copper at $1.80
Oil at $45 to $50, gasoline retail at about $3.00

At those levels, current account defict will be close to zero in 2-3 years, maybe small surplus.

With more US domestic sales replacing imports, tax revenues will rise , reducing federal level deficts.

With about 20-30% domestic inflation, tax revenues for local, state and federal governments will increase, an effective tax increase, reducing deficts even more.
