Name your poison, war, protectionism, US civil war, etc. all are possible, but the status quo is unsustainable.  The US will become a 3rd world country in 2 years when our debt exceeds our GDP by 100%.  When that happens or before the currency will depreciate sharply, interest rates will rise quickly and more people will be out of work.

There will be insufficient tax revenues to pay the government and either protectionism will win or war.  Remember, politicians like to get elected and foreigners don't vote.  

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
