Big Bucks,Good points, but how are Japanese banks/financial institutions going to make any return on their capital, certainly not in Japan or Asia. US securities are the only safe haven for them to invest in where there is safety as the world monetary system/deflation continues reducing the intrinsic value of their capital assets.

You make good points as always. There are no easy solutions. I just do not know how we can isolate ourself (US) and make it. If we have no customers then what will happen to our products (goods and services). Just think of the farmers in the country who have killed their cattle since feeding the cattle was to expensive to raise. With the grain farmers do the same when they do not have a greater supply and now demand do to the lack of exports.

During the agricultural age I probably would have agreed with you but the genie is out of the bottle. Just think of it it. You as a technology guru and I as a investor in technology have enabled all of us, corporations and personally to communicate almost instantly anywhere in the world or invest anywhere in the world. And, IMO, it will only get faster and more efficient. Note, I did not say more effective.<g>
