I was reading in the paper today that the Debt/GNP in the states has risen from 38% to about 60% in the last year and a half. The expectation is that this health plan will possibly push it to 100% which means that the American's will be in a 1-1 debt/gnp ratio.

In essence its not the U.S. will not pay the short term cash for this, the Chinese will driving the American's into a worse position when it comes to dealing with the Chinese.

While we might not see the total collapse of the American Empire, I believe we will see the withdrawl of America as a global superpower as they will not be able to afford as much international aid, military expenditures and the inability to live up to their international obligations.
