It very nearly collapsed ~ 1920's. When it does collapse people like Halliburton loose completely as their true net worth is essentially purely imaginary. cf the US and world markets now - a couple of people default on their mortgages and now the government is having to use taxes to support the financial vapourware that is the market. Deflation is the scariest thing you can say to a monetarist. If the 'US' wanted had wanted to create an excuse to attack Iraq there were many things they could have done to raise popular ire without risking destroying themselves in the process. The money owns the press and can mountain a molehill easily. The fact Halliburton made a fortune out of Iraq only means that they were in a position to exploit the situation that someone intent on bringing down US gave to them on a plate. It was a good day to bury any integrity and follow the aims of PNAC.
