They are going to replace this current monetary system with another. I think we all agree with that, but do you think it will be another debt based system? Wouldn't they have to clear out all the debts to start that ponzi scheme over again, which means they'd lose a lot of their wealth? If they switched to a Gold based system they could restore confidence again (and the mass die off,) then just go right back to a debt based fiat system right after that.
