LifeThirst: If you are not from US then do you appreciate the US economic impact on the economy of your country?
Yes!
No!
May be!
My country doesn’t have impact already!
I’m from US, let see…
You are funny When things are going good then that country most likely does. Not so good then I imagine not. Do you know Mr Thirst there was a time in my life to see something in my home from another country was unusual. I admit we did not have all the choices of types of salad dressing and stuff we have now a days.But we got by. We only had fruits that were grown locally so there were strange foods I had never tasted till I got older. I really don't appreciate the impact the american economy has had on my country but I do so like my favorite pair of jeans that are from India and my beautiful dishes from England...And I have paid for these items so I have added to the economy of anothers country and to be honest most the times I am appreciative of good work from what ever country it is from. I have am like most people though when I spend my hard earned money on something and it is not good I am not happy I am trying to say is there was a time when stuff from other countries was not abundant...even though times are difficult now for alot of people how do we really narrow it down to whom and what country. We I guess could stop trading with one another and shut our borders back up. But to be appreciative no I don't think anything has been done for nothing. Appreciating should be saved for the great things in life. Like a beautiful piece of art. A gorgeous flower. The moment you look at a man (or woman) and you know he is the one so you count your lucky stars....Funny when I think about it the thing I appreciate the most don't have nothing to do with money it is the breath I breathe my family and friends and an opportunity to try one more day to be a good person. So ok I will show some appeciation for the lesser things I have that I really don't need. Thank you China for the great pair of sneakers I have, but please keep your dry wall it isn't so good Thank you Africa you have given me some gorgeous gems to admire...Thank you Pakistan you have given me nice jeans too. Just not my favorite pair like India. I can go on and on and on but I want if this is survivor island on the tele I am sure I would of been voted off this site by now. But thank you Mr Thirst you made me realize there are many countries out there I appreciate
We don't sell our sheep and milk and beef and fish to the US, so I don't know about the impact for our exports. I do know the price of a McD cheeseburger combo has gone down so that is something
What I don't appreciate is when US foreign policy directly affects the economic wellbeing of my (small) country.
In 1984 we overwhelmingly voted for and introduced anti-nuclear legislation. We were the first in the world to do so and one of the consequences was that it meant that we would not allow any nation to visit our shores with vessels either powered by nuclear power or carrying nuclear weapons.
The US had previously made regualar visits to our national waters with military ships, however under the new legislation they would not declare the 'nuclear status' of thier vessels so their entry was declined.
After the introduction of the legislation the US administration decided to teach us a lesson. They ejected us from the defense treaty we had with the US and Australia (called ANZUS) and unfairly introduced tarrifs to our agricultural exports to the US. By comparison, European farmers were able to export their products to the US tarrif-free.
At the time our economy was heavily dependant on our dairy exports and suffered significantly as a result. In fact we have never recovered economically from this discord. While relations with the US have improved we have maintained the anti-nuclear legislation and that should be respected but I will never forget what the US did to us.
America knows how to hurt nations, economically, militarily and socially if they don't agree with their policies, ideaology or way of life. It is a bully nation.

The impact is not only in other countries, it is in the US as well. Do you think the Americans appreciate this economy? It is not that we want more we just want equal, and if you have to starve, so shall we!

OMG OMG OMG Another bash-n-blame the U.S.A. for something thread I believe it is the state of the EU economy that's affecting the economy in the U.S.A., pigeon hole.
galrads: Yes, you are right about what I meant, patmac. I did think that everyone except the UK is using the Euro, though.
If this thread is not talking about current double-dipping recessive economic problems why don't we go back to where it all started for us in the U.S.A. when the king of England told tthe colonies we could not print our own monies anymore and that we had to pay his chit taxes using gold so that he could pay for his colonizing empirical wars.
LMFAO.... the U.S.A. is not responsible for all the slacker social EU nations that are full of do nothing's until it comes to complaining.... Complaing about their not getting their entitlements. I sure hope we never become like any EU nation. No more woebama ideology.
Well if the several million folk in the USA had paid their Mortgages then we would not have had the Sub Prime collapse .....So it could in fact be argued that the folk in the USA who everextended themselves and could not repay their loans caused the whole thing in the first place... But any sensible person knows it was the Banks and Brokers who pushed the loans to folk who they knew could not afford it caused the collapse as the dealers/brokers/bankers were making money on the commision and did not use the proper checks and counter checks. Also the massive loans easy credit during the same time.

It would be nice If thread makers would define the period of time they are addressing while postin. The U.S.A. is not responsible for the do nothing Europeans and their social dreamer lifestyles. :roll Talk about massive loans though............ And lives, where would the uk be now if the U.S.A. didn't allow a 60-year term for it to pay back war debt to the U.S.A., not to forget that jimmy carter forgave a greater amount of that debt.

If the US does well the dollar:pesos exchange goes up. If the US does badly the dollar:pesos exchange goes up.
Why is it?
That is because our trading is mostly in US dollars and a big part of the Mexico’s Federal reserves are in greenbills. However, that is changing and the Mex government are getting into gold.
Also there have been several proposals for Silver as our currency and that would be a good option for us.
Do I appreciate the US economy and its impact on my country’s economy?

galrads: What is a mortgage?
Definition of 'Mortgage' A debt instrument that is secured by the collateral of specified real estate property and that the borrower is obliged to pay back with a predetermined set of payments. Mortgages are used by individuals and businesses to make large purchases of real estate without paying the entire value of the purchase up front.
Ronald Reagan should have been drawn and quartered, the stunt America played with the Hunt Brothers should be taken to the World Court cause was biggest financial scam run by any one country in the history of the world.
They pushed gold up to US$920 + and Silver to US$36 + but themselves in the case of gold bailed out at US$780 (around about) then at $900 + opened Fort Knocks and flooded the world with gold and silver, no doubt re-buying around the US$80.00 mark, bunch of scumbags

I believe silver was briefly valued around $40 USDs back then. Watch what the wizard fed drives metal prices to as it prints more money.

Do you mean the money we paid for Lease Lend....Old ships way past their sell by date LOL.....Just when we were fighting on our own.... Of course we were your allies. Germany and Japan did far better out of the Marshall Plan. Curious way to treat your friends.By the way the US debt is:
America's debt surpasses the combined debt of the eurozone and the U.K., according to new figures released by Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee.
At the end of last year, U.S. debt stood at $15.1 trillion, compared to $12.7 for the eurozone and U.K.
The news comes as President Obama is criticizing Rep. Paul Ryan for his budget proposal, something the Wisconsin lawmaker said comes as no surprise.
Ryan said he's prepared for the president and other critics who claim his plan will hurt the nation's poor.
The chairman of the House Budget Committee said his proposal would spare people 55 and older from cuts in programs like Medicare.
And just for information :
The USA Its highest debts are to China,Japan & Great Britain.
The debt to Great Britain alone rose from $180.3 Billion to $541.3 Billion in just 1 year!
I'd stop lobbing bricks, you threw too many over your last posts. If you want folk to debate a point as you say, then why have digs at their country. You don't like it when folk have digs at the USA...It is this attitude that gets folks backs up. The world banks caused the problem and they used so many millions of folk, primarily in the USA as their cash cow and it collapsed and the banks had to be bailed out worldwide...And the plain fact is it was the US Sub Prime market that caused the crash....World banks at fault and sadly the folk in the USA who dreamed the could own their property got caught big style//

Hey, Roosevelt was stretching the law to get whatever he could to contribute whatever he could to help bring peace to your waring countries (at the time.) So why slam what the guy could do for you. Gilligan would have been more than happy to see one on his island.
Never forget, the truth is like a dead skunk lying in the middle of a road. You can walk away from it, but it doesn't get any better. My bricks must equal a truth that people are in denial about maybe.....
Anyways, bricks are necessary sometimes. Talking chit through is better than warring for conquest like Europeans are used to.
And by-the-way, I'm on CS primarily for entertainment purposes. I never slam any country on here intentionally and usually only react on these dumb threads that bash on good old life giving USA.
If our worst prez can forgive your debts, why doesn't your government pay off ours?
And, yes, the USA is sinking quick. We will pull out of this one way or another. I just hope the US Fed doesn't print more money....
The sub-prime collapse didn't cause the economic crisis.
Decades of ridiculous deficit spending and endless wars caused it.
The sub-prime market was just the weakest link in the chain. And one that could be blamed on the people rather than the government and the banks. The ideal culprit.

Well said Rubicon. David Lange was a great man May we all have the balls to stand up for what we believe in. I hope we stay nuclear free forever.

The next of many bubbles to burst here will be student debt, that was perpetrated on us by various colleges and universities here. Look at all the people here that are out of work taking on more student debt to study and earn higher degrees that they hope will get themselves better jobs as the economy improves but those unseen jobs probably never will exist. To their benefit only, universities and colleges are selling unusable products today.

Thanks for your comment!
All that I asked via this pole is if any time unfortunately you loose the purchasing power of Indian jeans and India don’t get purchaser in India then his jeans stock will accumulate only which will lead to closing of jeans manufacturing factories… will lead unemployment… and the decrease of purchasing power caused by unemployed labors will gradually affect other industries & market. But if I could create substitute purchaser within country then I need not depend on your purchasing power. Hope my point is clear ‘the vicious circle’.

Thanks! You are absolutely right! And all these questions are coming because US dollar is a hard currency! So naturally until I am depending on you I shall not want your any downfall.
