Its just numbers, when it all gets to much we'll just go back to the barter system. Makes me feel ok with the thought of 100% finance on the latest FPV GT-P at whatever interest rate they want.

Dont forget they are guarding their beloved oil/gas pipeline..... no reported oil in afghanistan, but last i think they reported it was very rich in certain minerals. Aerial surveys as well as satellite surveys were done and apparently several billion worth of mining....

Id be more worried about foriegn aid and NATO funding.. cannot imagine China being so nice when it comes to f/a spending in their budget.

In fact they probably still get development assistance from the US.

Anyhoo... should America go under maybe they could sell some of their assets to the world bank or the ruling rich?
Greece is considering sellings off its assets... because the bank wants in.
Also think that the world bank now has control of economic policy as well as part of the bail out deal.

Why isnt anyone (apart from Greeks) afraid of this?

Not ot mention China has a large amount of Americas debt as well, im sure they wouldnt mind owning the grand canon?

For black ops. But this has always been the case - illegal activity to provide non-traceable money to go to secret ops. Hence the massive jump in heroin exportation from Afghanistan since the invasion.

How can a economy collapse like the USA it's nonsense! no one could be so stupid.
Something is wrong like it's has all been set up to fall for some reason.
Ford in the USA was doing well then just went bust surely someone seen it all coming.

If you want to know the reason why it's all happening, basically point to Bush Junior... tax cuts, military spending, medicare etc.

watch this video to see how it all started. This was from about 3 years ago, back when the US Debt was down just over 10 trillion

It takes ten minutes worth of research to know that the US (economically that is) is headed towards oblivion. Govco over there is not able to come good on all the bonds that have been sold. Picture what is happening in Greece, now multiply that by 30 or so...

The plan is to "nationalize" the car companies, there are many people that now believe America will become a 3rd world nation by end of this year!

Let's call it "Socialism", it's all a sick joke played out on the people by the Bankers who hold no allegiance to any nation. The Federal Reserve is not "Federal" and it has no "reserves"...a group of private European banks own them and they set the rules on how it operates.

Did you know that every US dollar that's printed is actually an IOU to these private banks with the American people picking up the tab and also being the collateral?...

The US will need QE3 by August 2nd 2011 or they will default, my guess is they will get it but it won't be enough to stop hyperinflation which will hit the US economy by Christmas.

Read up on the "Weimar Republic" for a better understanding.

The economies of the world are all designed to collapse so the IMF can take over and introduce a "One-World currency" with the UN providing the military muscle.

Money is just a tool, it has no real value, no precious metal backing...the real power comes from controlling peoples' lives.

The bankers' greatest leverage on controlling the world economy comes from the "derivatives" scam which is said to be worth several quadrillion dollars (yes, QUADRILLION) today!

Want more info?...send me a PM.

Bent8 while agree with what you have said... why do you "call it socialism"?
Has nothing to do with it.
The US has been controlled by the banks for long time and the population has slowly been conforming to "new" ideals for decades.
(Much the same as here)
Remember that medicare is "socialism" and spending more on the military is patriotic...

I agree, their Medicare system is basically a form of Socialism but…..American’s still have their 2nd Amendment right which means it’s going to be very very difficult for Obama to continue on the current path.

With over 44 million on food stamps and their “real” unemployment rate at over 25% (U6), people are slowly waking up.

My belief is that the banks who have engineered this “crisis” have gone too far and the whole system is now out of their control.

How does the saying go…”be careful what you wish for” ?
