Watch as U.S living standards plunge rock bottom and a population used to borrowing to consume finds that no-one is willing to lend. Witness Americans who believe it's the service-economy where everyone can be a personal trainer, lawyer or peddle dodgy derivatives which is really propping up their consumption of everyone else's products come to an abrupt realisation that everything was not as it seemed.

The revolution will begin two weeks after even as foreign companies swoop in to buy up what remains.

i find it funny that our government has had a blind attitude towards our economy for a long time.
nafta screwed us,our dumbasses in the whitehouse are to busy racking up kills in iraq to care about whats happening on the homefront.
i live in west virginia which never gets any help from the government so i say let the economy collapse.
i have land which will support me and mine and dont need money to actually to survive.
i started my garden,ill hunt for game to eat and i use wood for heat.
now all you people in the city can snicker at us hillbillies all you want as long as i dont catch you tresspassing on my property.

"I don't see how neoKeynesian projects aren't the same thing as printing money and throwing it away.  At least my way we'd retire some debt with it."

It's a boost to the economy. Indeed, the government is making some debts, but it benifits the economy. Printing extra money on the other hand just causes inflation, wich isn't helping the economy at all, and can only be used to get rid of some debts.

Keynesian Theory is a Neo-Failure.

I have a novel Idea, Eliminate Income Tax and Eliminate Capital Gains tax.

There is not enough gold in the world to back value of the US Economy Yell.  Unless you are looking for 1 million an ounce gold prices.  Cannot do.

But, I do love watching the Dollar Fall like a rock. Seems like a master plan to eliminate a HUGE chunk of debt.  Its all paper its all a shell game.

You all dont even begin to understand the big picture.

Look at US Foreign investment.  Look at the size of the US conglomorates that control overseas countries.  IT IS a global Economy.

Its about time the US Dollar corrected vs. the Euro/Yen/Pnd Sterl.

Yes, Oil is up.  The rug will be yanked on that puppy soon enough.

Its a master plan.

Mace,

So? Nobody cares about poor people.

Price of fuel in the USA has nearly doubled this decade. Nobody is going to get away with deliberately raising it more

Bound to happen, for thirty years everybody on earth swore US couldnt and wouldnt pay these prices. Then the iraq war made investors jumpy, and by godfrey, we could pay more and we do pay more

Biofuel would be a good idea for us except we wont stop paying folks not to grow corn and nobody will allow more refineries built nearby.

The american voter is all for a strong national economy so long as his town doesnt get more crowded too expensive too busy and too sprawling. And not too much foriegn imports and no foriegners buying up the hometown. And no unfair gap between the rich and poor.

If that makes sense to you, emigrate over here and audition for a cabinet post.

better sooner than later, I always say
