What could turn the US into the world's greatest Argentina is the arrival of $100 per barrel oil.
Trust me, the US is not going to be an Argentina--maybe a UK loss of financial dominace that occured decades ago. But there just is no logical analogy between the US and Argentina. Just to test your belief in that concept, it means the dollar will absolutely plummet, so you should put a ton of your savings into shorting the dollar, and leverage that bet. If you're right, you'll be a multimillionaire--but I wouldn't do it if I were you.
The problem with shorting and leveraging is that you may be able to predict the direction of a movement, but not its time scale. So you need deep pockets. guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
