Sanjuro Posted April 16, 2006 #51 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well , for a start, US has reached its debt ceiling $8.184 trillion, the U.S. government’s credit abroad (its borrowing power) is gone. Those countries (mainly China) who presently keep America afloat by holding U.S. Treasury Notes, will most likely no longer continue doing so. And The United States government is currently running a budget deficit of $1.8 billion/day. Too much deficit will create a weaker American dollar and cripple the US economy. The U.S. economy is broken, the United States is bankrupt - the unchecked spending by this administration, the illegally waged wars against Afghanistan and Iraq, the cost of unprecedented weapons and military build-up - have all contributed to an irreversible emergency in US economy. Even Iraq oil wont save US from falling apart. And war with Iran will be the final strike for US and US will start to collapsing until it will be like Soviet Union in 90s. SO maybe you need to do a little research first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadal Posted April 16, 2006 #55 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Also, the Chinese government has a lot higher poverty rate than the U.S. I'd rather not live at all then live in China. Hardly any universities, most Chinese come here to AMERICA to get a proper education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygunner Posted April 16, 2006 #58 Share Posted April 16, 2006 China and India have the fastest growing economies in the world. I predict that they will overtake the western economies by 2015. So the west need to get their heads together and compete on the open market. Having wars wont help, but will only make the arms dealers a lot richer.

I agree with that statement, but i think economically, we are a lot older and wiser than in 1926 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkin2006 Posted April 17, 2006 #61 Share Posted April 17, 2006 no, I have not forgotten, but what saddens me the most is that most of my fellow americans think this is the only time we have ever been attacked by terrorists. I've not forgotten. I know we've been attacked before and probably will be again. But one thing about it; we stick together when it comes down to it. I would do anything for my country, including dying. I would have enlisted on this second go round with Iraq but I was past the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
