Yeah thanks for joining in at the last moment in WW1 and because of Japan in WW2 to save Western civilisation etc. It was your stupid President Wilson who didn't finish the job so WW2 had to be fought. It was at a price though - we finally paid you guys off in 1979 I think and after giving you...

nice one

Oh well must get on and earn a buck or two

Never have I "told" you what to vote. Just interested in what's going on around the globe. You guys seem so besotted with just your own affairs. Look around there are others. Can't really see why you get so defensive and angry if anyone has a look-in or should we need a licence of some sort ...

Why ? Surely that is obvious when you consider how much the USA affects the Rest. There are approximately 20 times more people in the rest of the world. We aren't exactly invisible since we export more to you than you do to us. We visit each other's countries in millions. The Rest aren't...

Oh lordy what damage you guys have inflicted on to the English language ? Did you lot have to mess with the spelling etc. after all it is OUR language not yours. But no matter, you are still more or less intelligible. :)

The neighbours are awfully sensitive poor things. You left out a whole word that time - something to do with brains, er no mind that's it.

A man of the world and better not say from where exactly for fear of the torrent of abuse that may come forth. Let's just say not from the USA although I have been there. :D P.S. You guys are sure easy to wind up a bit :)

No I didn't. The Scots spell it my way - it's the Irish that put an extra e in at the end

Over here we chucked out the big spending socialists and have paid off a quarter of the debt already. Must be doing something right. Right ? Come November you guys have to decide whether to pay off or rack up even more debt. Any fool can spend it all

Ya could show a leetle generosity of spirit there Billy Joe, like ya does with washing after ya in the horse trough. Just guessing but I reckon Lucrum is from Dixie, keeps loads of guns, can't spell too well but has lots to say. Especially after a jar of whisky. Has a nasty temper when...

Better get them cows in Martha

I fail to see why you get so rude to anyone remotely interested in political affairs. Just an ignorant redneck I suspect.

Just 1 statistic. It looks like if you are rich you would be better off voting Romney. If poor then Obama.

It was a verbal quote. You could ask them what the figure is ? I am just a foreigner looking in and trying to make some sort of sense of it all. Probably harder to get a true perspective if one actually lives there and is patriotic etc.

More on debt Debt held by the public reached 49.5% of GDP at the beginning of President Clinton's first term. However, it fell to 34.5% of GDP by the end of Clinton's presidency due in part to decreased military spending, increased taxes (in 1990, 1993 and 1997), and increased tax revenue...

I would like to hear the candidates views on green issues. Don't waste money on Afghanistan etc. spend it on cleaning up the planet. The US spends more on defence than the rest of the world put togethor !

As mentioned on Bloomberg yesterday. Here is another fact some won't like - trade defecits with the Rest of the World. Gotta pull your patriotic heads outa the sand sooner or later.

Blame the politicians for the state of the world's financial problems. Blame Greenspan etc. too for the muddle Blame the bankers. As always the poor will suffer it, not the above. Fair world ? Not bloody likely. Has everyone conveniently forgotten sub prime mortgages that started the...

For anyone that thinks that the rest of the world doesn't matter then consider the fact that 72% of US debt is held by outsiders and it's huge. Cutting spending is probably not going to capture many votes, so neither candidate mentions it.
