Legion nailed it.

We're not heading towards this kind of collapse - more like a partial collapse. I can absolutely envision a scenario where martial law is imposed to keep order coming in the next few years. I can also absolutely envision a scenario (more likely) like Japan has had for the last couple of decades where things limp along stuck in second gear for a long, long, LONG time with no real "kaboom" or change, only a bleak, miserable existence for a prolonged period of time. People are far too apathetic these days to do what it would really take to effect meaningful change in this country. It would take a lot more than we have today - a LOT more. People are just way too lazy and stupid.
