dollar ain't worth shit
polycounter lvl 18
USA owes 9000 billion dollars.
which makes the dollar worth about as much as monopoly money.
who's to blame? Alan Greenspan og Ben Bernanke.

it costs four hundred billion dollars... to run this country... for twelve seconds
turn half your brain off, post stupid shit. be an asshole, and be a god at CG art.
starting these topics will make people hate you:
politics, rants, science, realistic military stuff, car redesign, how to become a 3d-god in 5 seconds.
get these right, and your future on polycount is bright.
aanyways , i was just gonna give you a heads-up that the US is on verge of bankruptcy, and the financial crisis might end up with WW3.
the other nation which was in about as deep shit as USA, iceland.. well you all know what happened there.
enjoy.
But only after you kill yourselves in a civil war over public healthcare first.
icelands economy melted. everyone in the country was out of work over night.
the icelandic coin value dropped so low that it was closed for sale for weeks,
and afaik, its still closed. try going to some financial website, and find a valuta calculator.
people in iceland are fleeing to norway.
here's an article.

iceland is a tiny country, so its bankruptcy doesn't have much of an effect on the world in general.
you don't know how fascist germany rose?
world economy fell over. nazi party promised gold and green fields to the people, and got elected.
hitler was nominated man of the year for rebuilding the german economy, and then he started his world conqust. its just a question of who will rise to take power once the government is sufficiently weakened. it could lead to another civil war too. i'm sure there's plenty of hoodlums and gangsters who'd think getting rid of the police is just great.
yes and its going to consist entirely out of polar bears and björk.
everyone is gonna die, and the world will end sooner than expected.
why don't you run off and tell your mommy to swap your diapers?
When you build your entire house out of sugar cubes you can't get pissed when the giant ants show up...
less of this:
Afaik, USA overspent their gold reserves. fort knox is empty.
the last financial crisis of 1987 cost about $160.1 billion, this one is 9000 billion? even inflation adjusted, i'd guess USA is in somewhat deeper shit than in 1987.
did something crawl up your ass again today?
or have you decided i'm worth hating more than hitler?
*crawls back out of perna*
Per has his period again.
but you've certainly got something against norwegians..
the dollar losing its value is horrible, who are we gonna sell oil and fish to,
if the dollar is suddenly worth less than the paper its printed on?
if USA goes bankrupt, its going to have ripple effects through the whole world,
and you'll end up with a global recession.
as for oil, we've been pumping our resources dry at such a tremendous rate, if we continue at this speed, we'll be running dry in 8 years, instead of the projected 30.
Except for Canada. We've got tons left. When the middle-east dries up everything will go to hell and then... THE CANADIANS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
One day, everyone will know the glory of Timbits. Mark my words.
EDIT: Also, you will all get public health care because we're Nazi's, dontcha know.
you complete bastard. should've known there was something fishy about you all of a sudden turning into an american.
Oh Yeah... well my 2 dollars of "monopoly money" bought me almost an entire snickers bar. so i'm 'bout ta get dunked on by Patric Chewin.
On a possibly less idiotic note, is 9000 billion the same as 9 trillion, or am i horrible at math?
A true America patriot and the greatest thing to ever come out of Kentucky besides booze. His gift to America and then the world will keep on giving for centuries to come.
its more along the lines of borrowing 2 dollars to buy yourself a snickers bar.
the bar was made in china, and paid for by money you don't have, by a bunch of of countries around the world.
yeah its 9 trillion.
OKAI! LOL?

pillaging is how we oiled our economic wheels back in the days. but it wasn't the only way we made money. if you paid us a certain sum every year, we'd agree not to attack, and rape your great great great grandmothers, and sell you children to slavery.
actually, there was a viking called gange-rolf, who was expelled from norway for not being vikingy enough.he went to the northern regions of france, and the french kings agreed to give him a part of their country, as long as they didn't rape and pillage the french. that country became known as normandy. the french vikings became normans. the normans went off and invaded britain and sicily.
so basically, norwegian vikings caused the british empire, and the mafia.
sweden wasn't so bad either. they started the russia.
and thats how WW3 started.

First off, Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire on March 14, 1879. As wikipedia says, so don't take that credit.
Second of all.. there are a lot of black presidents and there are countries that there weren't white president at all.
So don't go all wow with Obama thingie, because he is first black american president.. you didn't make change in world history, you made change in American history.
I'm not American, I'm not german, and I'm not Norwegian. What you say in this debate is plain worthless, neither of us choose the country where we were born and neither of us made decisions how to build our countrys economy. Its just how things are, so both stop with your nonsense
dood, gold standard's been gone for like 30 years now, everyone sets their currency to the us dollar, we go down you go down! Who's gonna buy all the shit the rest of the world makes, China?
You seem to forget that American history is world history, as america owns the world, how do you think we amassed that 9000billion dollar debt. the answer is america bought the world, derp.
