Is Time seriously trying to defend himself by arguing 'it's not blue, it's a different shade of blue'?

Yep, national debt was paid off once. It was bad.
Also, the largest portion of the debt *is* the national debt, i.e. to American citizens.
LOL@anyone who thinks that our currency collapsing won't affect us all individually. They're in for the biggest shock of all. It will affect our entire way of living. You can expect nationwide riots soon after it happens (within a week or two probably. However long it takes for everyone to start suffering the effects of it) and martial law will have to be declared soon after that. The government already knew it would come to that which is most likely why they started this Jade Helm project. They're preparing for it.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

It's not that our currency collapsing wouldn't affect us, it would. It just shows no actual sign of collapsing, and the economy shows every sign of continuing to strengthen and heal after recent wounds.
Like Ushgarak said, it's a conspiracy theory, not good economics.
The only remotely plausible thing I can think of that'd cause such a collapse is if the Tea Party got their 'default on the debt' dream done. That'd cause all kinds of stuff to collapse.
Well, to be more specific, the conspiracy theory talk I didn't want in here was the idea that the government was conducting military exercises under secret cover in order to prepare to govern a post-monetary collapse US.
I don't have an objection to people discussing the possibility of currency collapse (though I think it is wrong); I object to it being seen as part of some wider conspiratorial agenda.
