    China and the rest of the world will only support the US for so long before they run out of cash. China is also contracting at a fast rate and will need cash themselves to pump up their own economy.

    I see further downside to the US economy as the world stops buying US debt. This is a very serious problem.
    Having got ourselves into a debt-induced economic crisis, the only permanent way out is to reduce the debt – either directly by abolishing large slabs of it, or indirectly by inflating it away.
