The end of the greenback
This is a scary article:
http://www.informationclearinghouse....ticle17512.htm If you don't want to read the whole thing, here is a condensed version: - America needs about $70 Billion worth of foreign investment right now just to stay afloat. - China is the largest holder of American debt, and they are preparing to dump a large chunk of it to invest in developing nations instead. - The decline in the superpower-model that is the US can be attributed to its ever decreasing ability to get enough of the fuel such a large nation requires to function (oil). - Iraq is the tipping point in American history, as it is proving that you can no longer buy a strong economy with a strong military. - Over the next few years Americans will see a significant drop in living standards as the phantom boom becomes closer to bursting. - There may be a recession as bad as the great depression, however so much of the things Americans need are produced by foreign nations that they might be unable to recover. - The War on Terror is a public relations ploy that is intended to disguise the use of military and covert operations to secure dwindling resources to maintain dollar supremacy. It is a futile attempt to control the rise of China, India, Russia and the developing world while preserving the authority of western white elites. Basically this all means that the world as a whole is going to change drastically in the next decade. |

Oops. I meant:
Oh well, the proceedings of excrement transpire. My debate in a nutshell is that there's no such thing as a national economy anymore, the least of which for the United States. It's all tied together, the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, all in the same bed. The US has a near monopoly on the service economy: higher education, financial services, technological services, etc. If the world economy has anything to say about anything, people will be continuing to invest in this "country" for those reasons, and I put country in quotations because in the broader sense, economies completely transcend the old idea of a nation-state... as I said, we're all tied together now, which is why entities like the G8 exist.
