The nation isn't going to go bankrupt or end in any of our lifetimes. Ever since this country was founded people have been predicting the end of the country within the 10 years following their prediction. None of them have been right so what makes people think they're right now?
America is going to be here for the rest of ours, our children's and their children's lives. If you want to read early American's mindsets on the impending doom of this country, read "Antebellum American Culture"
The people from back in the late 1700's through the mid 1800's all had the exact same concerns we do today. It's really quite interesting how similar they sound to doomsday predictors today.

The people back in the mid 1800s you mention were accurate in some aspects, because a civil war did occur a little later on. Although it didn't end the nation, it did divide and potentially could have ended the country as they knew it.

A lot has changed since then, but hey, we're still a country now, and that won't ever change.
History says different. A couple hundred years is small potatoes in the grand scheme. This nation has changed a lot since the last 50 years.

Ever since the bible, people have been predicting the return of Jesus. I am just as unsure as perhaps you are. Saying it won't happen is a prediction, is it not?

And that country did cease to exist - the Civil War decided that issue. But the rest of the founding principles remained.
Now we are talking about the very fiber of the nation. Slavery was one thread, but now it is the complete tapestry that is being dissolved. Given another ten years of this "progressive" march 'forward' there will be nothing left of the founding ideals of the nation.
