I hate to break it to people who are stock piling weapons and ammo, but there will be no collapse of modern society in the US. At worst we could have a day or two of unrest if we suffered a major power outage or something like that, but if the recession showed anything it showed that once and for all those with the money rule and they have far too much invested in and far to much riding on this country to just let it collapse.

In short there is a lot more money to be made in keeping Americans fat, happy and watching TV than having the government collapse and letting chaos rule.

More likely what we will see is an election cycle where every few years we throw out the party in power and replace it with the other only to get sick of them and toss them in exchange for the ones we didn't like a few years ago. We are already seeing it. Eventually, that may change and more independents will take office, but it will likely be a slower process that takes 15-20 years and starts at a grass roots level that changes this country not some collapse where things turn into the Road Warrior.
