When do you guys think the United States economy will take a dive? I am talkin' complete collapse of the entire system. Banks, corporations, industry, etc... Next year? 2020? Who knows... provide some insight, I am interested in different points of view.

It will continue it's cyclical up and down periods indefinitely, much to the irritation of those advocating other, failed, economic systems.

Does it have too?

Your question reminds me of this anarchist homelss guy I know.

Like the whole idiotic "Fall of the American Empire" BS. We haven't even started building an Empire yet and people are already eager to see it fall, typical.

Miserable people hate whoevers on top.

Yeah... I don't know. I see all these damn doomsday preppers shows and I keep thinking, "what the fuck do they think is going to happen?". Damn radicals.

One factor that all most are overlooking it the net decline in American capital stock.

This in effect represents a divestment from production. Combined with an ever rising cost of living and the likely possibility of increased taxation, I predict that within a decade the US will begin to lose its economic preeminence.

There've been similar threads of late, and this one lacks a solid OP that isn't just a 'tell me what YOU think, I wish to be entertained' 'bit.
