Wait a minute...it just occurred to me that the US is already vastly overspending on its military and is running out of ways to pay for it other than taxing rich people. China could probably get the US to collapse itself in a second cold war.
That's true, but remember that a whole lot of work and artistry goes into making a magic trick believable. The US is turning into a third world country with a Gucci belt, and beyond a certain point people might just notice you're blowing smoke up their ass.
Yes, money is imaginary, but it is part of a system that has very real, material needs and affects. everyone works with money because its what works for us right now, if they stop then the system collapses, and if they keep using it when it runs out then the system collapses. Street laws are imaginary too, but people die if they don't work just right.
