Quote from day7793:
America is highly resourceful country, controls world's financial markets and has ingenious products and a wide industrial base. Don't underestimate ourselves we have just didn't become a Super power overnight a lot of things went into it. American economy has its ups and downs and yet it still manages to feed us well.
I think the world economy has changed just a little bit in the last few years....
Controls world's financial markets?
How about the biggest mortgage lender(CFC)and largest bank(C), slivers away from bankruptcy?
