Well, if he sinks America, he sinks the western world. Something everybody is forgetting about right now is that Europe is screwed, blued, and tattooed. Has anybody heard whether or not they could answer for that shortfall of actual cash in their banks? Last piece I read said they were trillions beyond the amount of our national debt. That figures. A huge chunk of the money owed to us are bad loans to Europe from WWII rebuilding. Their excuse now is that we bombed them, but ........... who started that war, and who asked for help? We had a Japanese problem to deal with. Their parents and grandparents were happy .......... but this generation never knew Nazi rule.

Without our rampant consumerism, will anybody else carry the ball? A rarely reported fact is that China is nearly broke too. Smoke and mirrors don't cut it when you have to come up with actual cash. I remember hearing the old timers say they would find a way to take this country out years ago.
