I hope you are wrong. Whenever nations have been faced with such crises, governments have responded with Socialism, and more Socialism. Germany got Hitler. We got the "New Deal" and a longer Depression than should have ever occurred, ending only because of a World War. And America was well on its way to a Socialist state-in-training. If we get another financial panic plus Obama or Hillary, we will fall for good into a dead-red European-style Socialist state.
By the time they put up that border wall, it may be as much to keep us in as to keep others out.
