Everyone is already bankrupt. That's the nature of government and debt-ba
sed 
money.
The danger (and what came to pass) is that they got *so* bankrupt they 
couldn't meet their obligations even *with* the ability to print money 
and/or take it from someone else by force.  But it's kind of complicated 
because the feds take huge amounts of money, then give it back in differe
nt 
allocations to the states, so the state being bankrupt was at least as mu
ch 
the fault of the federal government as anyone here.  The thieves were 
stealing from each other too hard.
