Quote from RCG Trader:
If we actually do default, and our currency if removed from the world stage due to devaluation, do you seriously think you have enuf food and ammo to hold off lawlessness for more than a year or two. U don't, and neither does anyone else. If we break down, and assuming Russia or China does not take prompt advantage, this is how it will go. Find your nearest combat ready military base. That is your best shot. If you live in Texas, find your way to Ft. Hood, for example. Our military bases are how we will reorganize into whatever we will become after the meltdown. Me, I will be headed back to where I trained, which is Ft. Benning. America will fight another civil war to see who will control what. Do you really want that? I know i don't. We have been an imperial power for a long time, and other nations will come in to claim their stake.
My God, look at what is happening on the border states right now, we will have wars on at least three fronts. If you are an American, then I would implore you to take a good pragmatic look at human nature, no way we come out of this in good shape, unless you have enuf ammo to hold off the nearest warlord who will be stationed at the nearest combat ready military base.
