I really hate the word unsustainable! Progressives have used it to push their control plans for to long. Now that it most accurately describes Government spending it grates to hear the term.
We could get out of this mess but we would have to disassemble most of the welfare state. That will still result in violence when the leaches get hungry.
In times of war the most common items traded with er: food alcohol cigarettes and gold (bullion, nuggets & dust etc)

You can buy gallon containers of black pepper at Sam's dirt cheap (although after buying some fill soil at Wally World recently I'm not sure how "cheap" dirt is any more). Lots of other spices and such at Sam's too.

I rarely disagree with you, but...
I'm not convinced that ammo will be a SMART way to barter - nothing worse than being killed with your own coin!
Me, I'm working on other ideas. I believe tobacco and liquor will be quite valuable - especially cigarettes.
