OOOPS....Most importantly.I forgot...certain folks at Goldman sachs (Government sachs), AIG, bear stearns and all of the other fatcat ASSHOLE THIEVES on WALL STREET and International bankers who have Usurped the financial health of the American people...(Corporate welfare and bailouts also deserve a special place. I was thinking a wealth addict treatment of glicerine and Tabassco suppositories along with chain gangs. NO white collar prisons either. Were talking hardcore slammer time.

quote: And US Treasuries bills are totally different? Okay, China has enough US "holdings", that if they divested themselves of them the US economy would collapse over night. As I pointed out the reason why China has not yet done that is that "the US is the world's market place and without the the good old USA there would be no place to sell their goods." So what China and the oil rich countries are doing is "looking for ways to disconnect themselves from the US dollar", which will still collapse the US economy, just slower. You seem to be debating with yourself. They will, they won't; it will collapse, they don't want it to collapse. When you owe the bank a bunch of uncollateralized debt the bank fears the debtor and it is in the interest of the bank to keep the debtor solvent. As to your statement that the US is the world's marketplace, ask Apple and Nike how that's working out for them. I think you will find that the Eurozone is also a significant marketplace.

quote: ORIGINAL: Sissificated I hope and pray the the UNITED STATES INC. Based on the Federal Reserve system (about as federal as Fed Ex) COMPLETELY and FULLY collapses and the American public either at last get "a constitutional republic" ..(Id be for that) Or something even better.... Either way...there are certain politicians, congressman, senators, p[olicemen LAWYERS, judges and a few other who i would absolutely LOVE seeing HANGING from street lamp posts for what they have done. Not just here but around the world. Thats my "Rational" view. It wont collapse quickly enough for me. Before there was a Federal Reserve there were at least 30 bank runs and a number of severe recessions in our history. What's your point?

I believe Moon was actually referring to the Somali pirates who make a living taking over merchant ships at sea.
