Marc Faber surely knows what he is talking about.

But even his advise is not enough to keep the American house in order as more and more giants go under.

Yesterday it was the banks, today it is the motor giants – who know it may be the brothels next.

this is a fantasstic quote! so true – only not sure that the money spent is not also going to Mexico! what about the money American soldiers are spending on these items in Afghanistan and Iraq? One girlfriend of a soldier sent a sms to her boyfriend in Afghanistan “What do the Afghan women have that we do not have?’. He got a reply saying “Whatever they have, they have it here” – so it is a locational problem!! And it cannot be outsourced!!

It is a fantastic American habit – charge it to the card, they say! So When George Bush wanted to spend in Afghanistan and Iraq (he was already running a deficit) he put it on the card. Now that the payment is due, he is wondering what to do. The normal American who lives beyond his means goes to a Suzie Orman and asks “Can I afford it”. GB had too much of an ego to do that. Now he can go to Suzie and ask “Should I declare bankruptcy?”. She might say, “You already are”. Yankees should realise that the rest of the world does not own him / her a living

Where is all the money coming from for the government to spend?

How many billions have we spent on the stimulus, AIG, the bailout, etc.?

We run a huge trade deficit.

Our government operates on a huge deficit.

How long can it last?
