How Will We Fall?

As Americans, we are use to having things go our way. Whatever we want we tend to attain. This however could be ending very shortly due to us being on the brink of financial, natural, and social collapse. The U.S. has used up every inch, invitation, and dime it could possibly use and for this we must now suffer.

Talk about going bankrupt
The United States national debt is exactly $11,033,157,578,669.78 (that's in the trillions in case your wondering). as of March 2009. If we divide this evenly between every man, woman, and child in the U.S. it comes out to 36,000 per person. What in the world could we have possibly bought and how much of it that could have amounted to a debt like that? All the bailouts the government is giving out to banks, industries, and workers just adds to our deficit. The collapse is coming soon because by giving more bailouts, they are devaluing the U.S. dollar. Our money isn't going to be worth cents in other countries if we keep going in this path.

"Who needs trees? Not us. And by the way, global warming is a myth" the U.S. said
Like camping? Being in the beautiful outdoors, enjoying nature's amazing scenery? Too damn bad. The U.S. in 2005 had the seventh largest annual primary forest loss in the world. Global Warming is a myth? The way the weather is changing so drastically and fast, there is no other explanation but global warming. Other natural reasons for a collapse is the fact that we reached our oil peak almost 40 years ago. Yet the U.S. keeps pulling oil out of the earth but they're finding less and less. Have you noticed how the gas prices keep going up and up again? That is because they have to raise the price of the precious little oil we have left. It's not just gas though, it's everything we purchase that has some trace of oil lingering on it. If we've reached the oil peak already and soon we're going to run out what will we use in 10 years when the rest of the supply we have is gone?

Whose your daddy?
Soon the U.S. won't be anymore. We have always been very prideful of being the world's leading country. We take our job seriously and love to bully the other kids in the park (metaphorically of course). Once our financial collapse and natural collapse happen however we will need to depend on other countries and no longer have the upper hand. What will the once so glorious U.S. do when they are invaded and can no longer rule other countries? North Korea is just the beginning of defiance that will happen against the U.S. The only question left to ask is who will be the world's next daddy?
