The Chinese are not Stupid, Americans are: part 3852

http://www.vdare.com/sailer/110403_anarcho.htm A parlor game: what new policy will the socialists introduce to further undermine this country, or rather to accelerate a process already well underway? In the grand scheme of history, Americans at large have not exprerienced a wake-up call since WWII. The requirements to achieve this are that it should be a major and dramatic threat--also, that its basic meaning should be comprehensible to the citizenry (the Cuban Missile Crisis, for example, mustered ramifications beyond the common scope of mind). Maybe national bankruptcy will suffice--though higher taxes seem more likely to happen in the foreseeable future. The collapse of Pakistan is another possibility, or war with Iran. Short of the negative shock of proper scale, this nation will persist in squandering its patrimony and thus decline ever further into decadent self-indulgence.
