Things are NOT as happy as they seem here in the US.
What happens when they decide to eliminate the option of welfare, or make it near impossible to qualify for welfare? People would go mad with stress and hunger and civil war would be on your hands. Unless they manage to pass the bill to have all firearms removed first. A starving nation controlled by military authorities. (This would be the worst case scenario)
But the US government are too proud to become the next Congo.
They'll act the superhero and install the new monetary system, where you don't
need money or a card but just a little device that you swipe every time you make a purchase. It doesn't cost you a thing. Every month the government grants you a gracious amount of, let's say, points.
Like welfare.(I could go deeper into this but I'm trying to keep this short)
And if you're working, you still get your salary on top of that. Living the dream, as they say.
Then there will be some major crash in the economy (again) that was completely unforeseen(again?). Thousands of people will be out of business, even more will be unemployed. Until, eventually, it gets to the point where more and more people will become reliant on the monetary points system. Until, finally, Obama proclaims the point system as the New Age of the economy, and money, coins, credit cards, banks - they all fade into the past as some neanderthal way of living. First in the US, and then he'll force the same system onto the countries which the US have alliances and trades with. Because, come on, it's AMERICA. You don't say no to America, do you? Not unless you want them (or some other country in allegiance to them) to nuke your own country.
Once it's all in full swing, Obama will start cutting back on the gracious part and appoint a fixed amount of points to civilians - just enough to still allow for comfortable living. And then he'll cut it back some more. Maybe most points will go to charities - organizations that do a greater good. Maybe the government will become 'tight' with the amount they give their country vs the amount necessary to keep up trades and services with other countries. Whatever excuse people will eat up, will do.
The fact is that America basically does control the world. It's close buddies with the Vatican, the Vatican I'm sure are close buddies with the Queen, and everyone else don't matter because they don't have as much power and influence as these three do. America doesn't need money to survive. It doesn't need money to do anything. It's got the military powers that be at their whim. It's won the global popularity reward.
This is worse than the worst case scenario because I for one do not and will not pledge allegiance to America. EVERRRR.
Ever since Bush said 'if you are not with us, you are against us', America lost a fan. I can't imagine how many countries rushed to secure alliance with America after that threat (which, logically, was a legit and genuine threat to start WW3 if countries didn't roll over and submit).
If I had my own little country I would revolt. Well, I'd revolt without one anyway.
Anyway, basically, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where America is headed. I'd wager there will be a zombie apocalypse yet. And giant man-eating people. Oh, and aliens. No country in the world has been better conditioned to lie down and get effed by what is to come like America has.
