USA $$$$$

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Yeah but 80-90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the border. They might fight like cornered wolverines to keep their health care though.

And while we are on that subject Mr USA , [ Mr President ] WTF is a gallon in this modern day of metrics and computers. How can the most powerful, educated country in the world, [ not my opinion ] still be using miles, yards, ounces and pounds and have dollar bills printed on paper that is of lower quality than the Cambodian Daily paper .
Look at how uppity you just got. Hah. Why? Thanks for the sweet nick name. Now all I need is a pet bald eagle. Cheers.

Pedantic Alert: Dollar bills aren't printed on paper but on 25% Linen and 75% Cotton.

Soon the $ will be printed on Corn, that fucking powerful lobby is forcing 5-10% ethanol into gas, wrecks engines, seals, life of gas.

Price of food is higher because of corn in gas.

Instead of Bucks, we'll call the $, Cobs.

US won't invade for oil, already sold out to China by our PM, they will want more of our water.

The Great Lakes are at record lows.

America is decaying from the inside as all other great empires in the past. The US does not produce much of anything anymore and the American people are content with cheap Chinese junk. There is one attorney for every 365 people. America the land of the not so free has more people in prisons/jails per capita than any other country on earth(2,200,000+) power and control by the attorneys/bar associations and a cash cow for the corporations that run supply the prison/jail/ rehab system. Laws are passed everyday to put Americans in jail, but no law is taken away.

America needs to go back to the gold standard in its money, but has no gold to back it up. Obama-Iben-Lying is printing money so fast (and giving it away) that the press's can't keep up. As in the stock market (a real scam) the dollar is artificially propped up. The time will come in the near future when a barrel of oil will be tied to another currency other than the dollar and thats the final nail in the coffin for the dollar.

America is squandering its wealth, people and resources being the cop for the world and all the while it is being invaded from the south. The only saving grace of the invasion from the south is that they for the most part are Christians and not Islamofacists that want to invoke their own antiquated religious law. Poor England, France, Germany, Holland, etc who have let these Islamofacists in their country and now they are breeding like flies and sucking down their social welfare/health systems.

The dollar is still the world currency, but its days are numbered. China is to be feared by the US more than the new Stalin in Russia. Yes, the US has oil, but for the most part it is locked up so the oil companies can make $$$$ and the US government can keep power/control over its people with crippling oil prices and squander money making gasohol from corn, (that eats O-rings and is bad for the internal combustion engine) The North Slope of Alaska has more oil than all of the middle east, but the US government wont let it be drilled or an additional pipe line(s) built. Watched "Bering Sea Gold" or "Deadliest Catch" There are vast amounts of oil/gas under the Bering Sea and its shallow,(Think North Sea Oil) been drilled and the US government paid the oil company to cap the test wells. (long story but at one time I almost married the daughter of the Vice-Pres. of a major oil company that drilled in the Bering Sea.) My Eskimo friends use to tell me that when they were out hunting seals/walrus's in the Bering sea there were areas that gas was bubbling up from the sea floor.)

The US dollar is headed to the cellar and probably the only thing holding it up is that the US owes the Chinese so much money in US dollars. Interesting time for the dollar are afoot.

I think many aspects of this post do need to be look at, it is a good post, not alarmist but based on strong theories and observations, I really enjoyed reading it , thank you

So how is Uncle Sam going to fund this new war? Once all the shells close to their use by dates have been used who is going to take freshly printed US dollars for missiles?

From http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 29 Sep 2014 at 10:23:53 AM GMT is:
$ 1 7 , 7 4 9 , 6 9 4 , 6 7 1 , 1 6 1 . 7 9

The estimated population of the United States is 319,109,839
so each citizen's share of this debt is $55,622.52.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$2.31 billion per day since September 30, 2012!


So, how can a country that can't even win the Ryder Cup hope to wage decades of war funded with paper money? How are they going to repay their Chinese debt? Just wonderin.
