If the USA is Broke - why doesn't the PRC Attack?

The People's Republic of China has clear ambitions to become the world's permier superpowr. An similarly Russia wants to regain its status as a superpower.

Now the USA is suppsedly broke - and we are spending about 53% of our Federal Tax budget on defense related spending even though we are really only invovled in a war with a piddling small nation - one that is barely larger than one of Russia's old "stans".

So why doesn't the PRC attack us? and if the worry is nukes - why not give Russia a piece of the pie so that MAD keeps us from using our nukes?

After all, if the PRC simply threw lots of forces against the West Coast of the USA, it would not even have to sustain the attack for very long. After all, if we are Broke, how are we going to fund the military effort to repel them? If the USA is REALLY BROKE, such an attack would push us over the brink of economic collapse. And once the Federal Government collapses economically, it pulls the state governments with it. And Bob's Your Uncle - for a very few Trillion, the PRC suddenly is the world's biggest superpower - even if it has to split the USA with Russia (maybe give Russia Canada since they are used to being cold).

Or is it that the USA really isn't broke? That if we had the POLITICAL WILLINGNESS, the USA could spend $10-$20 Trillion in military spending if that's what it took to repell the PRC?

And if that latter case is true... then we really are not "broke" are we?


Are we broke? Or not?
