Secret plan to bankrupt USA?

Interesting perspective. In fact, wasn't that the US plan to bankrupt the Soviet Union by having them go broke by overspending on military buildup and intelligence due to the paranoia syndrome? Guess it worked only because we had more money to waste than them. Thanks to U.S. taxpayers who work hard for their money. We can fund an ever increasing budget by increasing taxes. 90% tax rate may one day happen if we the U.S. government keep on overspending. The Soviet Union couldn't keep up with the U.S. spending on military and intelligence because their citizens don't produce much of an income so they went broke and got disbanded.

But there's an interesting point of critical mass. The point at which U.S. citizens are taxed at 100%, or really at 80%. At that point, taxpayers money can no longer support the overspending and then the U.S. government goes broke and gets disbanded.
