We are the new German reich....dont you get it?
if we stop bombing and scrapping with any or all who we are in conflict with, we also loose the boots on the ground there....(which means we loose the resources those places have....)
No choice but to soldier on wards now to the end of the fourth reich whatever that may be......seig heil Obama

It is impossible for a country to go bankrupt because a country can print its own money. Unfortunately that causes most of the country's citizens to go bankrupt.

most of us here already know what a country going bankrupt means but seems like you will be the one who will come to know about it through BBC. wake up...printing money like mad is not the solution. if printing money could avoid the bankruptcy, then every printing press in every country would have been running 24*7.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, to anyone who's been paying attention, this article is more an affirmation than an "eye opener" (not to mention the fact that it was written in '98.) Just dig through documentaries and ebooks and you'll find oodles of good info for the taking. And all without reading some repost from the nineties. Check out Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges, for example.edit on 7/8/2011 by xXxinfidelxXx because: (no reason given)

I can't help but to wonder if that person was merely making a daft cynical statement. Of course you don't print money and cause an imbalance.
or DO you when you've run out of other ideas and similar methods of passing the buck?
I do believe that might have been the point.

US is not only responsibly for its own but for the rest of the world too. if the US economy dies and it goes bankrupt then not only US but a lot more economies will follow the path because its a very interconnected world we are living in.
just imagine how many stock markets will sink and how many will suffer a serious heart attack?
so considering this, Uncle SAM should mend its ways for the best of all. And if you have read the article i have provided, you can be sure that the government had it coming for a very long time. People tried to tell the ugly truth but they ignored it and now we are at the edge of making a fool of ourselves. aren't we?edit on 7-8-2011 by vikki_nnd because: (no reason given)

LMAO!!!
Fortunately for me... Australia doesnt owe America anything per say.
We have masses of natural resources... all Australian owned.
We dont take money from the USA for anything of any real global value... and therefore our economy is completely uncompromised from America's failure to balance its own books legally.
In fact... Australia will benefit greatly from America's failure with a raise in our dollar value, lower prices on USA imported goods etc...
Happy days!
I dont like to see people of the USA blaming other countries for their failures... start blaming your government and actually taking action in your home towns as opposed to trying to pass the buck.
While there are a number of countries who will not fare well without USA's credit backing... the USA only has itself to blame and it will only make matters worse if those unable to see the problems keep blaming it all on everyone else but themselves.
just saying.

remeber how we bombed all the factories in Germany, how many other factories were bombed in WW2??
the only reason USA became so rich after ww2 is there was pretty much nowhere else that could manufacture anything!!!
yet all the baby boomers still believed "we earned it"..yet were too dense and filled with state sponsored EGO to realize............nobody else was able to make things because the infrastructure had been devastated..
and now, since USA doesn't have a monopoly on factories, we have MAJOR problems.. And now we are unsucccessfully trying to fan the flames of another World War, perhaps to destroy factories abroad again?

Wake up and smell the ashes, while you were sleeping your leaders have sold you out. Ignorant Americans are probably the number one cause of this impending calamity - not Pakistan.

This has been planned at least as long as 110 years ago. Many say longer.
Wake-up and smell the death chambers, folks.
God alone is our refuge. There is no other.
ET's/fallen angels will be no good solution.
Deception is rampant.
Time is running out.
