Who said there is no Soviet Union? It still exists but it went through a downsizing and a name change. Russia isn't the Soviet Union. But lets say for the sake of argument that it is. Do you really think the US is going to lose a huge chunk of territory soon, and have its system of government changed around in a major way, and have its name changed in the next decade or two? Any person, corporation or nation that fields a large deficit and is carrying a serious debt load runs the risk of getting into trouble. Yes we run a deficit and carry a lot of debt. I'd be happier if both or lower but if our debt level is going to cause the end of the US than I guess Japan and much of Europe is also a goner. You need to get a sense of perspective. Morale is low but its not as low as the Soviets. Its not low. That's true but I don't think that was the factor that brought the Soviets down. It was a major factor in Afghanistan. Who's relying on my gut? You are. We have two years of experience. None of which provides solid support to your conclusions. Tim
