Will history repeat itself in the US as is now happening in Greece?

This is an article which deals with the current financial crisis in Greece. In a nutshell, the Greek government has become virtually insolvent due to what I see as mismanagement of revenue. Now, the leftists and unions are staging violent protests against the austerity progams Greece must implement in order to borrow enough money from the European Union and International Monetary Fund for the country to survive. “A man and two women — one of whom was pregnant — died when they became trapped in a burning bank torched by protesters.”

Is this a foretaste of things to come for the United States?
