The only way the US could get back up from this whole mess would be to revolt, take control of the federal and most states government, make a purge of the scum, arrest the bankers, get back the money (about 14 trillions) let the big banks fail, take back control of the FED, end globalization treaties, close the border and bring back the troops from all around the world. IMO if this is done, MAYBE we can only have about 6 more months of a depression. MAYBE. But if this BS continues like it is, we face at the very least 7-10 years of depression.
