If the shit hits the fan, it is likely that every place on the globe will be affected to some degree.<br /><br />Countries that are worth moving to tend to have tight immigration controls.

While they don't have a 2nd amendment, countries like Singapore are usually good about issuing permits for weapons, including weapons restricted in the US. They tend to have other limitations, like limited land.

The Treasury paid out more than $7.5 trillion in maturing short term treasuries in 2013 (borrowing it all back in order to make good, in addition to the new borrowing) - what is going to happen when the buyers for short term treasuries wise up and don't buy?<br /><br />Total expenditures from the treasury in 2013 were $11.74 trillion, total borrowing was $8.3 trillion.
