This might be 5-10 years down the road but the people who haven't left the country will eventually revolt, probably shortly after the Chinese government cuts off the line of credit. What happens in the end will probably be determined by what the top brass in the US military decides is in the best interests of the country. Either the people will be oppressed or a whole bunch of government officials will be imprisoned/executed for corruption to force a change in the path of the government. The current government path is unsustainable, so something will happen. Based on my studies of history, I don't like the people's odds.

'I'm certainly not one who thinks either party is/has done a good job. But I do think the first couple of $T racked up by Obama are not so bad in the context of the crisis of the last year. What he does after that is going to be largely his own fault.' Return of the Keynsian economic model..making up the shortfall in the private sector with demand from the public sector in the short term.. en.wikipedia.org How quickly the right wingers forget the artificially juiced economy..take out the extra unneeded homes built upwards of 1M a yr for several years, the HELOC withdrawl from the phoney appreciation and the extra 3-4M cars a year and that is gap north of 1.5 trillion a year in a 14 trillion dollar economy.. We'd be in a real depression now if the right wingers were still in control.. Please, please point me to the next tea party so I can be saved from marxism and the destruction of our society and capitalism the way we knew it..Jeez if only these brain surgeons had warned small business owners and those heavy into real estate during the bubble in 2004-06 of the impending destruction maybe they'd of had a sense of timing.. Now it is time to move on at least for me... I doubt the Beck and Limbaugh croud are the true capitalists they say they are..lol
