Wouldn't it be great to set up an server just for that purpose? The second poster said they planned to do that, but the links in his signature don't work ... :(

Well, increasing production is what the Obama-Administration is trying to do due to getting the banks to lend money again. The FED decides if they print money or not, it's not a matter of the Government since the FED is trying to keep the deflation/inflation in balance and in my scenario, the...

That's pretty sad, isn't it? - Anyway: Can you imagine what will happen to the country once foreign lenders stop lending money? - I don't know how ugly it would be, but given the circumstances, it could border to a civil war once that happens.

Well, that's my point: When it comes to China and Japan, the US can't do anything about them if they decide to get rid of the T-Bills or if they stop lending money. Why? - Because the US-Market is China's and Japan's strongest ally - and the US won't attack it's own market to bring Japan and...

Yes, money and the flow of obviously did play a major role in some of the infamous historical interventions in foreign countries. But that doesn't necessarily relate to the threads questions about what will happen if the US government can't get any more money from foreign countries.

Well, since neither Iraq nor Afghanistan has something to do with treasury lending, do you suspect that the US would attack China to sell their treasury securities - or did I miss your point here entirely? :confused:

Well, so it does make the US bribable, does it not? - And what would happen if those foreign lenders would start to think that the T-Bills aren't worth to invest in them anymore - and consequentially stop lending money? [ETA: I might add that this scenario isn't that crazy given the current...

Given historic actions, I tend to agree with you when it comes to non-democratic interventions - but since we can doubt that the US would intervene in China, it isn't that relevant concerning the Topics questions.

In light of the huge debt, the reality of a wimpy tax revenue situation, the economic turbulences that require to largely increase the national debt, the rising costs of Medicaid and Medicare and the possibility of inflation: What exactly, in a domestic sense, would happen once foreign countries...

What happened? :

It's merely a hypothetical question regarding the GOP-rules and those who are still running. On the other hand, McCain will be dead anyway if he's running against Obama later this year. :p

Let's assume McCain has a heart attack, will be killed by Terrorists or simply get's hit by a thunderbolt tomorrow. Since Dr. Paul is the only republican candidate who's still in the race besides McCain, would that automatically makes him the parties nominee - or may others enter the presdential...

A little inspiration for you guys about Ron Paul's CPAC Speech... :) Blogging CPAC: Ron Paul on Presidential Steroids CPAC 2008 CHAPTER SIX: The New Ron Paul
