The market might come tumbling down later on during or after what the Fed has to say. The reason I say that, it usually does happen. I don't remember the last time it went up when B.B spoke.

Our existence as a nation is "guaranteed" for a long time due to our military, and therefore we'll be around for a theoretical infinity in which to pay back the money.

Im pretty sure Rome had that same kind of theory back in the day too...... how did that one end again? oh right, not so great....

Up until recently, CNN was running that commercial fairly regularly and I don't think they stopped because it was banned by A&E, The History Channel, and the other major networks. I don't even think the other major networks banned it because it contained any amount of earth shattering truth as the person, who uploaded the video, claims. It's actually been running for quite a while, so I'm not sure how "new" it is.

It's context is completely flawed. The Chinese would never, ever teach that it was because we turned our back on our principles. Instead, they would teach that it was because of our flawed principles that we have failed. Had the producers of the commercial thought to include that bit of realism, I suspect it would have been a little closer to the truth.

Hence my quotations around "guaranteed". It's dumb to think a country will stick around forever simply because it has a strong military, but people do.

Am i the only one that has lost faith in the monetary system? i mean all we did in the last decades was financing debts with loans.

All it means is that when the US really bottoms out they'll have no option but to sell their weapons to anyone who will buy them...

LOL, I know. Seriously, is China run by Republican conservatives?

Anyone saw this? I think he hits the nail on the head.
