    Yeah, amazing isn't it?

    What's more amazing is how oblivious most people are to this.

    Yeah, that is a little cold.

    The Mexicans who were fired here were given a little bonus on their last check, and then just well... let go off. I think that all of them left back for Mexico, no point in staying here. You can't find work anywhere at all.

    hippyhillbilly i agree with you to a certain extent.

    The fact is the UK dosnt have as nearly many populatants, and can absorb it in the shade.

    USA is a drying grape right now. And very few people like raisins.

    Okay so If the American Empire collapses what happens to us all?

    It's going to effect the whole earth dramatically. I mean Mcdonald's is American.

    a forced revolution?

    I mean shit we only have 100 years to live the way we do in modern society?

    To evolve.

    I don't get all this shit

    The focus of the people who own 99% of the worlds wealth focus on future generations, not the ones right now.

    They dumb the heard down by poisoning our mind and health to make the people run as a clock. Right now it seems unrealistic, but 50 years from know, when the flouride levels in the water have increased, nothing will seem like anything because thinking will not be an essence.

    Maybe people will wake up and realize what the "founding fathers" of the US were talking about. State runned government, the Federal Government should have little part in our lives, and you have to begin to return to a gold standard.

    and withdraw all our troops, from every country

    Let the people's concensus decide what we should do to help the world

    The economy is practically global now as it is. If the American economy falls, then a lot of other economies will suffer, especially the ones of the third world countries dependent on America.

    I don't think that the economy will completely collapse. The worst would be another Depression, which wouldn't be no fun, but it at least it won't be complete chaos and anarchy. (Which could be fun, but I think that we'll miss some of the comforts of society, such as safety and food)

    sorry to disappoint, but shit is not going to collapse anytime soon

    just watch, it will keep on trucking

    even if an economy like Pakistan completely collapsed it would throw the world into economic turmoil, so you know if the US economy collapsed bitch countries like Canada would be screwed too

    I love the predictions. Whether alarmist or tending toward the status-quo, they are so presumptuous.

    But it is interesting that the current generation of Americans no longer believes in the possibility of severe economic crises. Much like the 1920s generation.

    Things just magically stay on the up and up. Forever.

    Unknown American exits the USA.

    That's okay. Some people will do well despite the economy.

    Economic collapse provides opportunities for profit.

    I expect to get richer as things get worse in the economy.

    I also believe that anyone posting here can do well in life despite the economy.

    Opportunities are provided in times of chaos.

    It is good to be alive!:)

    Sure. But the AVERAGE American would probably do better if this was a secondary power.

    The richest of the rich will do better the more fucked up the world economy is.

    No big news, really.

    Pennies in the U.S. have been copper-plated zinc since the early 80s, although there is now talk about switching to steel.

    Yeah, but that's not the point really. Fictitious value is ok so long as the government has an commensurate amount of bullion or at least industrial/infrastructural capacity.

    The thing right now is that the dollar has absolutely NO value other than military might.

    When Bush thinks that sending out $150 billion in tax rebate will somehow get rid of the trillions and trillions of dollars on U.S. national debt.
