Now they are strip-mining what's left and when the country is a empty husk, ready to collapse into a third-world nation, they will get in their private jets, and fly off to their private, gated, guarded compound in Costa Rica or Belize, and live off the interest in their Bermuda bank accounts for the next 12 or 20 generations.
Arrogant American's seem to think they are immune to this, because it's what happens to OTHER countries. The Mexican Peso was devalued directly into the pockets of Wall Street traders a few decades back. And the same way, as soon as the US Dollar is vulnerable, it is going to be a feeding frenzy, and Americans will end up lining up for toilet paper. "Told you so" feels kind of hollow in a situation like that.
