Well, there's a myth that Russia fell because communism doesn't work. The truth is that they kept taking money out of the social programs that the people depended on and put them, instead, into the arms race. In the end, they had twice the number of nukes that the U.S. had, but their economy was falling apart.
It wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happened here. All of this money going to war and weapons has to come from somewhere, and it's our important social programs that will suffer.
