The US can keep up this game for a long while, but the US currency will eventually fail in the international market relative to other countries which will cause hyperinflation or a currency crisis at home. I see much more community/victory gardens and people who come up with a whole host of new solutions to high costs/dead economy with technology and new ideas.
The new economy after the collapse will be based partially on libertarianism and partially on voluntary cooperation. People are not going to just sit back and let other people starve or be without shelter, but people helping out other people will be voluntary and not compulsive. I believe that with earth changes and the financial collapse, all of us will be living in some form of an intentional community in the next several years, whether it be in the country or in a large city. I also see the new economy based on a strange blend of old technology (i.e. horses and oxen) and new technology (i.e. cars and solar panels).
On the spiritual side, I see we are coming to a point where people are having their beliefs shattered. This means all of the people who were pro-establishment who thought they knew everything are going to come to a point where they don't know what to believe, but they begin to realize on many levels they are being lied to.
For all of us on Avalon and people who have been following what is happening in the real world, this is going to present a real opportunity to be heard and to take some type of concrete action. The action part will come quickly as people will be in dire need from the financial collapse. I think TPTB may be having difficulties at this point -- I read the news regularly and I'm not so convinced they have so much control of the chaos right now or if they have as much control as they think they do.
For some reason, I don't see people rioting or freaking out en mass. I see some type of new energy structure that is keeping people from going off the deep end.
I think our best bet is order ab chao. There will be an opportunity for us very soon to make the type of world we want and people will be increasingly receptive to what we are saying. Despite the massive destruction that is occurring and that it may be emotionally painful for many people, I truly feel we're on the right track and that things are going very well.

I like what you have said very much....
How do we reach ALL those people? This is the tricky part.
I believe it all will crash, then the people will know as they rome and encounter others.
