America's bedraggled, debt slave consumers are about to reap the final whirlwind which will finally unwind what is left of their consumer materialist society. This final shoe will come in the form of the cheaply made and cheap priced and often poisonous Chinese consumer goods. It is these very goods that not only have stuffed American households in a gluttony of soulless, Christless consumerism but have equally driven those same mindless consumers out of their middle class manufacturing jobs and into the lower class that make up the vast vast masses of service sector jobs

The USA national debt has achieved the number, which cannot fit the renowned debt clock located in the center of New York. The device now is unable to display all the digits of the US national debt, Itar-Tass reports.

The U.S. Democratic opposition believes that the ongoing increase of the country’s debt testifies to poor financial policies run by the current U.S. administration.

China has several economic “weapons” at its disposal for countering the US, ranging from the manipulation of its currency to the diversification of its burgeoning stock of forex reserves. It also has several less blunt options to choose from, such as enabling Chinese companies to compete more directly and effectively with US companies, and opposing the US in securing a domestic energy supply.

In just 15 short months, George W. Bush, the most radical and unpopular President in American history, will step down and hand over power to a successor. He’ll stand on the podium in front of the Capital Building in Washington, tearfully wave good-bye to his countrymen, and then make his escape back to his comfortable ranch in Texas.

The situation looks rather strange: Russia has been writing off millions in debt owed by third-world countries. In the meantime, nobody wants to consider the possibility of canceling Russia’s foreign debt. Russia has been paying off hundred of billions in foreign debt which also includes funds owed by all other republics of the former Soviet Union.
