I beg to differ. The only thing Clinton tried to save was his sorry ass.

i vote for b), i.e. the ever more dubious methods... the US as the sole remaining military superpower and hegemon has found out it can afford to print as many dollars as it likes...the rest of the world has no choice but to accept them. what's more, if the US consumer were to retrench, the whole world would be going down the tubes. Japan and China are in a depression...imagine their biggest export market shutting down. why do you think the ECB didn't raise rates today? they're SCARED...everybody's afraid of the bubble bursting...

>or buying futures via offshore accounts using drug money, etc.. You mean like all of Amazon's debt offerings to date, which have been anonymous offshore affairs? Drug lords are willing to risk 50% losses or more for the chance to launder billions into clean US legal tender. Amazing how Amazon chose each time to go offshore for their money. The SEC gets no record of investors whatsoever in these types of operations. In fact, it is 100% true that nobody knows who owns the vast majority of amazon's debt. But I can guarantee you that their address is in columbia.
