>> seems to me the economies you cite as being in dire straits might be so no matter how noble their governments. climatic change, population growth, aids, etc. can prove to be problems that overwhelm even the best of governments..... << Well, climate change is not yet an economic factor. The real problem in impoverished societies is that violent conflict prevents normal economic activities. Since the US doesn't have that problem, any economic dislocation will be mild. As long as the gov has to pay attention to a middle class majority, I don't expect any dire recession. If the republicans are insensitive to unemployment, they'll be booted out next year. Most of the people of the world are not in that happy position, unfortunately.
