Actually, there's something that could happen....hyperinflation. That occurs when people lose faith in the currency, and the dollar's worth crashes (People doubt US's ability to pay back its debt)
Would that primarily affect imported goods and in effect boost the US internal economy at the expense of the import economy?
well, if we have hyperinflation, it would crash the internal economy, since everything we do depends on oil in this country, and oil price would skyrocket
