Finally , a voice of reason and intelligence , not blunder and hot air !
( but Bandu IS right about us being a consumer economy with a service sector out matching manufacturing , dont remind me bandu, i could cry about that its so sickening )

"Annie , get your guns !"
hehe

Oh How I feel for the opportunist know it alls.  Oh please Bandu, I do like you a lot ... But dont try and counter everything I say, because the more you do .. well , you know .. .  you know it all right ? And Im , ..  well .. Im american ,..  so that must mean Im .. well ...   wrong ,   right ?  LOL
I bet , in person me and you would have a great time at the pub.

Oh, but  you said China's "raising" intrest rates?
Do you get your news from a comic book ?  LOL
China just yesterday did the unthinkable, they joined the EU and the Amerikans in a multi-lateral LOWERING OF INTREST RATES, globally to try and save the floundering banks across the globe.
To Quote my favorite 2142 phrase - " AINT HAPPENING! "
There isnt Sh!t anyone can do at this point.
Mark my words - Im a prophet.  ( at least on this subject )

I will however, agree with you guys,  I will agree in the fact that yes, the American Illuminati and the evil they wage begins here... We have the Greedy Pigs that make your worst pale in comparison.
We taught you guys new definitions of greed and crime. The amerikans.
The very things I stand against. The very things our revolutionary movement will seek to destroy.
We too Love the america that used to be alive , but is as dead as you say. Dead as a rotting corpse.
It will rise again, and I hope people like you can join us someday.

Now that ive led you to my conclusion, the conclusion Half you guys started this thread trying to debunk
( oh my hamsters this is good ! )
I will slam home the definition of where we are all going and how you guys over there in europe and Asia will lead the pack down the tubes.

-- in shakespearean monologue--

" We know we have taxed our people here in the USA to death via the IRS and inflation of the money supply, we know we have manipulated all the markets and engaged in rampant insider-trading and loan fraud, thus stealing trillions of dollars of your hard-earned cash from you, we know we created Ponzi-scheme bubbles in dot.com stocks and real estate, we know we gave mortgages to people who could not afford homes in the first place, we know that we falsely rated stocks, bonds and derivatives and "cooked our books" to get you and our INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS to pay top dollar for CRAP, we know we lied to you about every economic statistic on the face of the planet, but, hey, we're all in this together now, and you have no alternative other than to accept our bailout plan (oh, let's call it a "rescue plan" instead) so thatyou can pay for all the economic carnage resulting from our debauchery. "

" And don't worry about any oversight when it comes to disbursing the piddling $700 billion, because it should be obvious, based on all the foregoing, that we can be trusted to handle the MERE 700 billion as if it were -WELL - our own, which it will be if you approve the plan!  Oh, but perhaps we should not mention that - you might construe that as some kind of silly old moral hazard, hahaha.  And never mind that we told you we don't know if the plan will work, because we know it won't, but we didn't want to upset you any more than you already are.  And have no concern that the 1.4 quadrillion dollar, roiling, boiling derivatives volcano is going to wipe out the entire world banking system with molten credit default swaps and interest rate swaps in a blaze of pyroclastic glory over the next several years, because, hey - we're working on it!  And never mind that THE PROBLEM IS UNSOLVABLE !  This is the United Goldilocks Matrix, where everything turns out juuuuust right!   "

Bandu , you have me all wrong buddy ... IM NOT MAINSTREAM AMERIKA, Nor are my Peoples.
You think of my Peoples as rednecks, as losers, thats where you are Wrong about me.
If you could realise what my minority stand for, you would be proud of our resolve.
We are the real america , not the cancer that is ruining our image. There are many Americans who are trustworthy and loyal. im afraid you brand us all like the scum in control right now.
Now after the next few weeks set in, will you change your minds over ocross the pond, and support our movement against this evil? Or will you show your FIGHTING colors, and sit back and expect 'governments' to solve it all ?

Im through with this thread for at least 3 weeks, ( until around Halloween )  BOOO !!
just to let the comming developments settle in and sting real good.
My people ( the small band of american rebels you put down as a joke ) are out to kill this, and we dont expect ANYTHING in the way of support from analytical lofty european intellects that happen to know all the answers in advance. We expect you all to do just as usual, ...  nothing.

WE are going the  see the F@cking US congress hanging from ropes.
JOIN THE REBELLION !!!
