Many of my friends, are so concerned by the credit bubble and nobody wants to invest in the US anymore. These people are top 0.01% of this society.
In fact, US only has two way out,
1. let RE collapse
2. let US Dollar collapse
Of course, option #2 is less painful in the short term. Long term impact very bad though, just look at USD's performace at a supposedly strong time frame.
This view was recently echoed by BOA's chairman.
