the only Chinese I will enjoy is the food(no disrespect to Asians)America will be the last man standing on the pile you can bank on that buddy
Only if we get serious.
We must not fall into the vanity of the roman empire..America is not immortal, no nation is...and egotistical claims of endless superiority will only make things weaken
You are absolutely correct only if we get serious and well to be honest i have no idea on how,but i do know the current elected officials are not going to cut it.

I say to hell with credit! I was brought up and raised ALWAYS to pay cash, credit is a sucker's bet. You end up financing something and paying 2 to 4 times what it is worth, and are hit with nice interest. I see this dollar collapse* as a via for slipping in new currency likened to credit.
A C from Weiss is roughly equivalent to a BBB rating from the big rating agencies like Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch. That’s about two notches above non-investment grade, or junk, status.

Credit isn't the enemy, there are great uses for credit. Very few people could pay cash for a home for example. BUT.... paying back debt should ALWAYS be a priority in goverment and at home. Paying off debt should come before everything else. But in our country, you pay bills, you buy new shoes, you get your hair done, buy a new TV, oh and if anything is left then try and pay down some debt. My family has no debt, even our home is paid for. We don't talk about it much but when we do people are astonished and want to know how we did it, what our secret is. There is no secret, we just made it a priority. It came BEFORE buying a new car, BEFORE a new TV, etc. etc. The same people who ask us this have homes twice the size of ours with two new cars in the driveway and a boat out back and they don't understand why they're saddled with debt and we aren't. No doubt some of them would say it's not "fair" even!

Netherlands and UK are in the same mess relatively speaking yet these guys put Netherlands higher, based on this you have to question the validity of this report and how many facts they actually based it on.
