[quote=kewp]The way I am seeing it, we are screwed, but everyone else is screwed worse.
Yup. Or so I hope.
America has everything it needs to be self-sufficient. We have natural resources, an abundance of food and the best *human* resources on the planet.
We can afford to sit this thing out. Gonna suck for those whom have never known hard times.[/quote]
Now let me see if I have got this right. Self sufficient, but dependent on China buying its debt. Highly subsidized farming, now geared more to producing biofuels. Gas guzzling cars that nobody wants to buy, and dependence on foreign oil. Best human resources on the planet …? I presume you are referring to the ones that got us into this pickle in the first place. Be careful what you wish for.
