    America was doing fine for a long time, and I assure you that when we get out of this we will be doing fine again.


    Well, China basically owns your country now...

    Well, your national debt is astronomical, you've some serious work ahead of you.


  4. Well for starters there is absolutely no good non-political reason to be against a balanced budget ammendment.

    Your state needs to make more money than it spends, to pay off some of your debt... Your country needs more taxes, otherwise your debt will continue to increase.

    With your low taxes and a balanced budget ammendment, your country would be pretty weak.

    Go back to 2007 spending levels in social entitlements.

    Ya but it's not exactly like they can come over here and collect on their debt. Once we're rid of Obama and we get some responsible spending We'll be fine. Operating a national deficit isn't a concern as long as it is a reasonable one. America has successfully functioned with a national deficit for over a hundred years
  9. I'd say that it's bound to strike back eventually though.

    China doesnt want a bankrupt USA. China has a huge amount of dollars in stock, to keep the yen low, if the USA gets in to problems the dollar will be less worth, making the yen relatively more expensive which makes Chinese goods unattractive on the US market.

    Yes, we do. Yogi was just trying to point out that the world is NOT black and white. Gadafi was a great Occident' friend until 2010, then he became Satan. The same as happened with Saddam Hussein and Ossama Bin Laden in the 80s-90s... They were great friends with the USA and then they became personifications of the purest Evil. But Yogi was just pointing out that, while Gadafi was an absolute bastard and a mass murder for years, he did also good things for his country and some of his people. And the occidental countries always avoided to look on those horrible things until last year, when they decided to avoid looking at the good. Hypocresy.


    True. Libyan people have no idea what's in front of them. While they were one of the richest countries in Africa, I bet that they will be one of the poorest in just a few years.

    They were rich because Gaddafi didn't let anyone to fuck with him. They didn't let big western corporations to run their country. Yes, he was mass murderer, but noone points out these days that this revolutionaries already killed hundreds of civilians. Yes, civilians.

    And he was killed after he was caught. So, there will be no fair trial, nothing. Even with that, new people are showing that they're no better than Gaddafi was.

    Yes, but USA continues to function because nobody in the world wouldn't want USA to collapse because that would mean collapse of the whole world. In economic aspect, of course.

    To pay off the debt completely something truly radical would have to change, brutally radical. It's always mystery to me how people think that the system works and yet everyone is in debt. I mean - everyone. It just doesn't work. And, Aaron, please, stop with this commie shit, we get it.
