i think both sides are extremes - us financial will collapse/dollar worthless/everyone rioting vs we will be ok in a few years.
Reality usually lies somewhere in the middle, once the immediate crisis is over (and it will be over), inflation will start to kick into high gears as the global investors pull out of dollar safety compounded by the trillions $ we printed from the current crisis. It will be a replay of the early 80s problems. But things will eventually return to normal, US will be ok but in a weaker state. Soon after that, the social securities will come due, but that's a different story for another time....
That's why i have already started building my long term positions in commodities as I believe the current price crash on top of the inflation spike predictions going forward present a good entry point.
Bought oil, agricultures, researching base metals. Staying away from gold, because it's not a "pure" commodity influenced too much by external factors and stock performances.
