That's arrogance and little more. Being the biggest economy in the world, what happens to yours naturally affects everyone else not by virtue of intent but simply by reason of being. Yes, when your economy is doing well ours is assisted and when yours does bad ours is harmed. But we are not inextricably linked to you nor dependant on you.
But don't expect anyone to thank you for the world economic downturn - especially one as savage as this one. < P.S. the U.S. economy is not on the verge of total collapse. You are listening to the liberal press going on and on so that they can scare people into accepting more debt spending by Congress.> It would be nice to believe that but wishing wont make it so. With virtually every bank and financial organization either bankrupt or on life support; a housing sector in a historical worst crash etc etc what would you call it? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicholas Geti Sent: Thursday, 19 February 2009 4:31 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] Australian Government To Regulate Private Regularity ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Flight" <[email protected]> To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 5:15 PM Subject: RE: [OT] Australian Government To Regulate Private Regularity > Mock all you like but our economy is superb and yours is on the brink of > total collapse. It is just possible we know something you don't. > You are overlooking a major reason why your economy did so well. The U.S. economy is the engine of the world. As proof look at all the crying and gnashing of teeth you foreigners are doing right now claiming that the recession is the fault of the U.S. For 15 years us Americans have pumped trillions of dollars into the world economy. We have gone into massive debt to fund consumerism. The bubble has burst. We are no longer buying much stuff. Because the global economy is by definition crosslinks every nation on the planet every human being is affected by the downturn whether or not there is direct trade with the U.S. For example China exports a major portion of their output to the U.S. then in turn buys from stuff from other countries like Australia and those in South America. When the U.S. chokes, so does everyone in this entire chain of production. By this time next year you will not look so good. Believe me. P.S. the U.S. economy is not on the verge of total collapse. You are listening to the liberal press going on and on so that they can scare people into accepting more debt spending by Congress.
