US economy the "Envy of the World!"

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01...h.ap/index.html

Yeah, right, I really bet our dear friend Freak from the DJ Booth wishes the UK and US economies were switched...

It's not the worst in the world, but it's certainly not the "envy" of it either...

Rob, let's stop this and get back to talking about your gay girlfriend.

I know in my state, we barely managed to create 1100 jobs in the past six months, and to keep up with people growing into working age as well as new residents we need at least 2200 a day.

Hehe. Turn over the American economy and it says "Made in China".

Most people in the world live in 3rd world countries, so I guess yes America is the envy of many.

economy doesn't = living conditions.

How well the economy is doing does correlate with living coditions, at least 99% of the time. You don't expect a country let's say in Africa with GDP per capita with $100 to have excelent hospitals, water, electricity, maybe internet etc.

more like 6.4 trillion.

But our dollar is worth more so suck it c00nt!

It's funny how only like 2 people thus far even know what the word economy means. And yes the free market ish system in America is indeed envious. Otherwise others wouldn't try to copy it.

That comment was just plain stupid. Learn a bit about exchange rates.

your dollar is worth about .86 USD.

So if you went to the united states and tried paying for something at a dollar store with your canadian dollar, you wouldn't be able to because you wouldn't have enough. And that is if an american store accepted your shit money.

I win, die plz.

Pretty sure we all know how exchange rates work bud, but thanks for your dumb ass explanation anyway.

Considering a few years ago our dollar was worth like 0.65 american, and now its 0.86, you lose. Your dollar value is going down and continues to go down.

Canada is the 2nd worst debting nation in the world. America isn't. Even though they're debt number is bigger; that number versus their economy is smaller than our debt to economy. Canada is in worse shape, basically.

First off, he told me to learn about something I already knew about, twat. So I had to give an explaination.

And you have to take into consideration that people have died from the things that have brought our economy down (Hurricanes, 9/11, etc.), so I think that we shouldn't be treating this as a fucking conest, so I am stopping right now, because I started it, my bad.

No, no, no.

You're confusing a trade deficit with a national debt. And while China has purchased portions of our national debt, they can't "call in our debt", it doesn't work that way.

Lol. There are too many people here trying to give their opinion while they are uneducated concerning economics

uh.

no.

a country can have a relatively tiny economy, and have ppl with excellent conditions, better than that of nations with massive economies, and more market power in the general scale. Take some of the gulf countries, especially the non-democratic ones. The ppl get so much money from the government, because the government makes so much money from the oil reserves, and gives much of it to the people.


actually, living conditions is in itself, kind of a hard thing to sort out, because it's purely an average. So in a country of 1000 people, u may have 1 person with an income of 1billion dollars per anum. the rest may earn 1c per anum. that averages out to $10,000 pa average. THis certainly isn't the only factor in determining living conditions, but it's probably the biggest.

Australia has a GDP per capita of $ 30,700. 17th on the global rank.

US has a GDP per capita of $ 40,100. 2nd.

Mostly Becasue of the social security benifits, and FREE PUBLIC health care, Australia has a better living condition (from memory, about 5-10th in the global scale. Oh yah... and we have kangaroos.


I used Australia and US as an example. THese are pretty well-known, common countries. So it's not just a one-off instance of my point.
GDP per capita is just an indication of how much GDP per person is in a country. IF living is expensive, and the gap between poor and rich is big, then living conditions are shit.

currency exchange rates aren't the best indicator of economic strength.
