Not just that, but it's also a misrepresentation of history and economics.
"at some point" -- say, at the point where the US loses control of its own currency and, like the "Latin American country in the 1970s" um, denominates all its debt in, what, Yuan?
Like my grandmother used to say, climbing a tree doesn't get you closer to walking on the moon.
