Inflation or deflation tell me if you can: will we become Zimbabwe or will we be Japan?

I am uming that the 'we' refers to the United States, in your not too distant future you will have to join economically with Canada and Mexico to buffer yourself against a resurgent European Union. The United States will be in a brief war against the E.U, and it will end up in a treaty. However, there will be allot resentment on both sides. Until the distant discovery is made.
