I see the US headed for major setbacks like the late 1970s - erly 1980s by a moderately quick path, 2-5 years. This gets followed by a year or two of mutual blame aand analysis, followed by a multi-year rebuilding/reform process, such as happend for the military post Viet Nam or US business after Japan grabbed many markets.

To construct a collaspse sceanario ( I may be wrong on this) you need to have 2 or 3 foreign countires ACT AGAINST THEIR OWN CRITICAL INTERESTS to push the US over a cliff. Possible, but how likely ?

China stops buying T-bills and stops buying / selling with the US.

Japan stops buying T-bills and starts selling T-bills, and stops buying / selling to the US

As a Canadian I am a bit amazed how the Bush supporters seem to accept very large deficits. Seems to be little talk in the election of this major problem in my view.
