You never know what could happen. A lot of the Latin American countries have problems with insurgents and rebels. They may want the American military to bring peace and order in their country.
Also, Costa Rica has a good reputation for stability. Hence, a good place for Americans to retire. As of now, I still want to visit Peru to see Machu Picchu. So far, I haven't heard anything negative about any tourists visiting over there. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : I highly doubt that Latin American countries would be dumb enough to become part of the losing highly in debt United States. Besides they get a lot of US expatriates moving to their countries and spending their retirement money there. I hear Panama is good for that.

He also became destitute after serving as president of this country. I would guess ex-presidents, at the time, didn't have a pension for their services as the top executive. He also wanted to annex the Dominican Republic as part of the Union. But the senate disapproved of the idea. I wonder what would happen if some countries in Latin America would want to join the US now. A new state and new tax payers could help pay for the mounting national debt of this country. http://news.yahoo.com/10-fascinating-facts-president-ulysses-grant-093220428.html http://news.yahoo.com/10-fascinating-facts-president-ulysses-grant-093220428.html
