Mine is that since the US is turning more and and more into a scam economy, the problem then becomes that they'll eventually run out of other people's money.

The Soviet Union on the other hand had a near unsolvable fossil fuel issue crippling their economy.

Also I never understood the hype for "choosing your own doctor". I dont know any of them. The only way I'd be choosing a doctor is if I could see stats of how many recoveries they've been responsible for, which will force doctors to try and game the system and refuse to accept patients who might need real help. Which would be me at that point.
