Why the rest of the world isn’t helping with the bailout

"Since, however, it was buying Chinese goods and since that meant that
China was industrializing by giving the US money in exchange for
manufacturing jobs, the Chinese were willing to keep the subsidies
going."

"So, anyway, long story short, the rest of the world doesn't feel much
if any sympathy for the US about all this."

You may have noticed the rather frigid response to requests that the
rest of the world help with the bailout. European leaders coldly said
no, so did Chinese, so did, well, pretty much everyone. And China
instructed its banks to not lend to American banks.

You might be wondering why. Let's start with the history: basically
the US spent the last seven and a half years borrowing money from the
rest of the world and spent it on tax cuts for your rich, a war that
most of the world didn't agree with (that's Iraq) and on consumption.
The money inflow was extreme, at one point in 2005 some surveys were
showing it as being more than the total interest on all the money in
the world (ie. all the legal money, plus drug money). Everyone warned
the US, including the IMF, but the US just went on its merry way with
a war no one wanted and fiscal policies clearly aimed at making its
rich even richer and impoverishing its middle class.

Since, however, it was buying Chinese goods and since that meant that
China was industrializing by giving the US money in exchange for
manufacturing jobs, the Chinese were willing to keep the subsidies
going. To a lesser extent, so were the Japanese and Koreans. And while
most everyone else wasn't that thrilled, the idea of the US having an
economic collapse and taking the rest of the world down with them
didn't seem too hot (although Stirling was arguing at the time that
the Europeans should pull the plug anyway, because the costs were
larger than they appeared, an d well, if they didn't, what's happening
now would happen.)

*Laura Schlessinger disparges Sarah Palin for her mom role modeling...
yet SHE WILL VOTE FOR THE SARAH PALIN TICKET ! ! Schlessinger likes
the ticket for war and economic reasons.

*Schlessinger disparges Communism and commies with unadulterated vile.
Yet, after her imperfect race on Perfect, she instantly purchased a
Chinese Communist product from one of their Special Economic Zones.

That's OK, we(USA) treated Europe pretty bad after WWII.

The plan was to impoverish the Nation, the poor all have houses and the
rich all have worthless paper.....

No Big Deal - if true, we wanted to slow Congress down on their spending
anyways. The Socialist Liberals think all they need to do is raise taxes
and "they can spend more".... I'm happy everyone turned them down,
sooner or later(one way or another) the Heroin to the addict is cut off.

Now all we need to do is get rid of the Socialist Obama who'll raise
taxes in a Depression that will Circle the Globe, once he's gone we'll
be "good to go", meanwhile the rest of the warm and fuzzy
socialist/Liberal States around the world will linger in Depression
while we rise like the Phoenix, or not.

Why are you worried about socialism? You support trade to China every day.

War in Afghanistan is now ‘15 times more’ deadly than Iraq.»
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/24/afgahn-iraq-15/
Brandon Friedman at VetVoice writes today that “one year ago — last
September — the hostile fire death rates in Iraq and Afghanistan were
roughly equal. But now, in terms of hostile fire death rates, what was
once seen as the ’safer’ theater, Afghanistan has now exploded to the
point that it’s nearly 15 times more dangerous for American troops
than Iraq.” Using causality figures from the last 30 days, Friedman
finds:

Hostile fire death rate in Iraq: 7 deaths per 146,000 troops (.005
percent)
Hostile fire death rate in Afghanistan: 7 deaths per 10,000 troops
(.07 percent)

"we" ? You, ROLE MODEL Laura Schlessinger and.....

In 2004 videotape, Bin Laden explained his strategy against U.S. —
‘bleed until bankruptcy.’»
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/25/bin-laden-bleed/

Over on the Wonk Room, Matt Duss recalls this line from Osama bin
Laden’s surprise late-October 2004 videotaped address:

And even more dangerous and bitter for America is that the
Mujahedin recently forced Bush to resort to emergency funds to
continue the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq which is evidence of the
success of the bleed-until-bankruptcy plan with Allah’s permission…
And it all shows that the real loser is… you. It’s the American people
and their economy.

The CIA judged that Bin Laden’s videotaped message was an effort by al
Qaeda to deliver four more years for President Bush, thus helping them
recruit a new generation of terrorists.

> That's OK, we(USA) treated Europe pretty bad after WWII.

Try living in the present and step out of the blame game and excuse
noose every once in awhile.

> sooner or later(one way or another) the Heroin to the addict is cut off.

Agreed, the credit habit was living above their means... maybe
desparate loan brokers will double interest on poor and former mid
class.

Laura Schlessinger & *Poetic Justice*:
Hate "commies"... Love investing in their economy

I don't mind ppl who shop where they like, I find Schlessinger
hypocritical with her mouth and actions.
She's an outright liar. That's the objection with her. She's
political, works to promote an ideology while pretending to be what
she's not.
Not in psychology field and the entertainment gig is also a 99% ruse.
