Bacon,
Excuse me, sir, but do you really believe that Dagong, a component of the Chinese Government (still Communist last time I checked) is supposed to be the wake up call to our ills?
And this is the China that wants to block Google and cellphones? Is this a free flow of information that most nations of the world allow?
And this somehow fits your "Boomergeddon" ideas?

I ain't never figured out what happens when the creditors of the US say: " that's it Dude, no more money for you".
Does it turn out differently than Greece?
I think it turns out pretty simple.
You tell the NEOCONS that we can no longer afford to deploy our military around the world to go after every bad guy hiding behind a bush.
People are SS and Medicare will only get 75% of what they thought they'd get.
Those who were expecting free Viagara and mobility scooters will find themselves having to fork over the money out of their own pockets.
If you want 100% airtight borders.. it's gonna cost you big time…
The Military side of Hampton Roads will be 1/2 of it's glory years.
The interstate highways will be tolled. If you want to drive solo to work every day at rush hour – it's going to cost you a pretty penny.
In short – the "free lunch" is going to get tougher and tougher to get.
The prescription drug ads on TV will no longer say "check with your doctor to see if if NoseOFF is right for you".
Nope – it'll say.. check your Medicare coverage to see if it will pay for NoseOFF even after your doctor prescribes it".
Some folks have become pretty spoiled in this country and they are in for a shock.
Changes are coming but I'd love to see the newly-seated Republican Congress tell us all that they are going to do away with Medicare and SS.
That would be worth watching.
They may actually pull it off.. who knows…
Larry, Every once in a while, I find myself agreeing with you. This is one of those times. You need to read "Boomergeddon."
