The united states has been the world's largest economy since 1871. California has a bigger economy than Russia as does NY and I think even Texas has a bigger economy than Russia.. Even in a down turn, we still don't hurt like Russia does in it's best times..
Yes, when we have down turns here people lose money, some people lose their McManisons and some can't buy that new big screen.. but we aren't fighting over potatos..

on the contrary...it is not the one with the most money that survives but the one who needs the least...who will go under first, the one who has to pay 2000$ rent or the one living in the commie free housing?...the one who needs to make 50K/year to stay fed and housed or the one who needs to make 2K?...
I would compare it to an extinction event like with the dinosaurs...the ones who needed the most food, the large powerful dinosaurs, died out first...the ones who needed the least, the cockroaches, survived no problem...
oh and lets not forget that you guys make nothing these days....its very very very very hard to find "made in USA" products anywhere in the world...I mean sure I can buy "Nike" here but its made in thailand...all you have going for you is printing money and forcing others to give you goods and services in return for inflation...this will end soon
