US's triple-A credit rating 'under threat'

[RedDuke]

US will never default on its debt. Think who owns $ printing press, and you will see why. They will inflate $ through the roof if neccessary, but will never default.

Yea the social security and health care are two of the main reasons why we owe 7 trillion dollars? Western Europe have a much better health care system and their social security benefits are superior to ours yet you do not see them being crushed. Last time I checked, Euro was doing OK compared to the good old greenback.

Wait,I know the solution, let's elect Georgie for another term (sorry can't be done). How about another republiscum?

You are too hard on Bush. He is a fine, Christian man.

that`s just the problem...they will print until our "paper" is worthless....then through the fear & panic card,they will insist to the people that we convert to the Amero (dollar/peso hybrid marriage) as it will be in the best interest of the country.....as if anyone will have a choice with a decimated dollar.

i recently bought stamps from a machine inside the post office,the machine gave me back these "new $1 dollar" gold presidential coins.....i went inside to the front of the line & informed them i would not accept them & convert it to paper now.how clever for the gov`t to slide these things into circulation without human interaction or resistance....i believe this may very well be the introduction of the Amero....gradually preparing people for change , holding these "gold coins" instead of paper & the debasement of our dollar.
it`s up to the people to not accept this & make a stand right off the bat...problem is,too many ignorant people will interpret it as a good thing...after all it`s GOLD!

you might want to check that again. just because the govt pays for the health care doesn't mean the care is better.

I lived 16 years in Europe and 23 in the US so I think I know what am talking about when it comes to the quality and accessbilty of health care.

the nominal tax rate in most euro countries with all those great benefits is like 70%

.... and despite all this every time I travel I see those pesky Europeans on their 6 weeks vacations in most exotic places all over this globe, and I am not talking about the super rich, just regular folk. Yes ..... you are right those taxes are killing them hahahahahaha

If by not wanting to work you mean that many Europeans are not willing to work for a starving wage (aka the minimum wage), in a union free workplace (it sounds so nice - union free), with no job protection, no pension, no sick days, abusive boss, shitty hours, mandatory overtime, and a long commute. THEN you are right, Europeans do not want to work.
