Quote from jjf:
How can a guy who rides a camel to work in all good conscience charge us a 100 bucks a barrel for oil.
How can BNP Paribas in all good conscience refuse to take anymore worthless subprime paper from us and to add insult to injury encourage all other foreign banks to follow suit.
Good lord, do they not realise that our rating agencies went to great lengths to package this paper like xmas presents.
How can Iran complain about restrictions on enrichment from us, when we are talking from the experience of having nuked two cities within three days.
How can any foreigner complain when we carefully explain that it was a technical glitch that caused a 500lb bomb to land on his sisters wedding.
I mean, talk about inward thinking.
Foreigners!!!
Talk about an ungrateful bunch, who can never see beyond their own selfish wants.
They all live in a bubble if you ask me.
Shame on them.
These foreigners are the cause of all our woes.
I say throw the bums out and stop talking to the rest.
As for doing business with them, I say one of us is slowly becoming irrelevant.
I say build a big fence and we can trade amongst our own glorious states.
Texas national guard can invade NJ ( assuming they can find it and any of them survive the walk without gas)
Kali can trade oscars for subprime paper with NY.
LV can auction strippers.
Come on guys this is doable.
It is this type of thinking that built this great country and I want you all to throw you weight and magnificence behind this idea.
