A. Oh boy, Pennsylvania fits the bill. Forests, meadows, waterfalls, huge boulders around riverbanks. Winters are cold and last from Halloween until St. Patrick's Day. November is absolutely bleak, cold winds, gray skies, maybe some sleet. Always snow by Christmas, and January is brutal with black ice on the roads, many inches of snow. February is still cold, and the snow turns to deep gray slush at the sides of the road. The forests get thick and tangled, not like California where you can walk easily between the trees, this is hard going. Western Pennsylvania has remnants of the glaciers' retreat, where huge boulders line the riverbanks. Rushing rivers where kayakers or swimmers can be killed, slippery rocks on the river bottom, often… [cont.]

How does the United States pay for things? What are the technical details?
Q. The United States doesn't have a 'bank account' so how does this work exactly. All checks from the United States government are from the Department of the Treasury, correct? And when that check is deposited in a bank, then how exactly does the bank increase that person's account without debiting the United States government account (of which there is none)? Basically I'd like to orient myself to the 21st century method of payments between the government and its people.

A. Well the War with Mexico War ended in 1848, nd by then Texas was already annexed to USA. That happened in 1845. The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1850, and that was the deal about slavery in the western territories. USA took a whole chunk of land from Mexico at the end of the War with Mexico, and USA did not know what to do about slavery in that area. So that was the major problem USA had: whether slavery should be allowed in the Western Territory

A. First of all, the US economy is not going to collapse. It's not even clear we're in a recession. The great depression was exacerbated by a fledgling fed that did exactly the opposite of what they should have done. That is, they took liquidity out of the system rather than adding it. Regarding your question, a collapse of the largest economy in the world (we are four, some think five times larger than China in GDP) would send the entire world into a depression. Since we would presumably default on our treasury bonds, of which China and Japan hold the most in the world, countries who hold our bonds as foreign reserves would experience a crisis of liquidity. Also, their export markets would dry up overnight and there would be a run on their… [cont.]
