If that happens and the republic fails those oh so valuable 401ks drop to pocket change as the US loses the honor of the dollar being the gold standard currency. I am surprised by some democrats that brush this off as just posturing by Trump. Maybe it is but the danger of a miscalculation (Democrat’s never do that) is too great a risk if we are wrong. I feel like We are in the Batman Dark Knight Rises movie and Bane and the Arkham criminals are in charge of Gotham City now.
