The U.S. will have to come around to that. I'm not sure how low it has to sink relative to China , but there will come a time when it will be seen as the obvious strategy.

Perhaps Great Depression II will be the spark as Great Depression I was the spark for the limited socialism in the U.S.

My own best guess is that the U.S. will never come around, but its successor states probably will.
