The USA Goes Bankrupt Just Like the Fall of Rome

Tom Ball

    In the year 2045, the USA government declared bankruptcy. They were in debt over a 100 trillion dollars and couldn’t make the interest payments any longer. The stock market plummeted, and everyone panicked, and the end result was the US had to slash military spending by 95% and cut back on most social programs. And they passed a balanced budget amendment which eliminated deficits forever. But it was too late and so now the Chinese with their millions and millions of troops took over large tracts of Asia, building a huge new Empire. Now everyone had to learn to speak Mandarin, or buy an expensive translator machine.
    Finally, the Chinese over ran America and had conquered the entire World.
    In Roman times the state finances were dependent on gold and when they didn’t have enough, they went bankrupt and couldn’t pay the troops. The USA had tried to enact a balanced the budget c. early 21 century but the motion had been defeated in the Senate by one vote. People were now angry and rioted and hung the former President and her staff, blaming them. But wild, deficit spending had been going on for a while.
    And they almost went bankrupt during the Corona-19 epidemic. But people said if we can survive WW III and the plague, we could get through all this too.
    But the banks were all bankrupt and there was no way for the government to get money, if they printed more inflation would go viral.
    So, a Chinese World Empire was established. All Americans were enslaved and abused.
    Many said the Chinese Empire wouldn’t last, but it lasted and lasted. Soon 23 years had passed; then the Western army defeated them at the battle of Kitchener.
    After the great battle, Chinese people were controlled with neo-opiates and so too Indians from India, the two great powers were brought to their knees.
    So, the West had triumphed again. And they started a new economy, with White humans taking control. It was all racism, many people said. But no one wanted to be ruled by the Chinese or the Indians Imperial prerogative.
    The new Western leaders, were very careful, not wanting to start another war and had spy agents to pick on the warlike.
    Like the past colonial period, The Western government took what all the other countries had.
    Some said it was like rape... But the new leadership said it was everyone’s duty to toe the line and defer to their superiors.
    I said, “It’s silly to divide the World on racist lines. All races had their skills and talents.”
    And, “We should base success on talent and work ethic, not race.”
    But many had a grudge against the Chinese for their attempt to seize power. And suddenly Chinese were all wage slaves.
    Western minds took over the minds of other races and bent them to their will.
    All in all, it was a backwards World, in some ways sent back to the 18^th century.
    But in other ways it was xsuper modern, and everyone enjoyed the fruits of technology, such as free food and drugs. And art was becoming more and more important. And it enriched our lives. And science marched on.
