  • I know how we can all help - by drinking more tea

  • well put, sir, well put.

  • That is nothing new. Our actions have long affected the rest of the world's economy. And right now it is on the bad side....very bad side. Unfortunately, this is just the bad side of our reliance on and are great faith in the free market. When times our good then it is unassailable. But when times are bad like now...then we lose all faith in it.

    But it would be naive of any American to believe that our actions don't affect the rest of the world for the good and the bad.

  • amen.

  • I meant:

    to think that our actions will not affect the rest of the world anymore is preposterous.

  • ????

    I see you want to take a crack at the USA, but I don't understand your context or the salience to this story.

  • of course...Pakistan plays a huge roll for the current position it's in too....just saying that this was the straw that broke the camels back!

  • I feel legitimately for the African continent. What more do these people need to make life harder? Subscription to currency seems to have had sever detrimental consequences for them, and all of the world for that matter. I have to agree, Wall Street is out of control, it should have its influence stripped from it.

  • That's the extreme proximate cause. But it's all related to so many other things going back decades.

  • Some dumb fools on wall street who decided it was fine to give mortgages to borderline crackheads, just to make themselves richer, have really messed up the world!
