it hasn't mattered YET...but if the psychology turns, it will matter and matter and matter...because it's impossible to reverse it quickly. the capital account can see net outflows within a heartbeat. this is like Asia, only a thousand times worse.

>true, but the US current acct deficit has mattered so much too -g-

don't you get it? not since the roman empire has one nation had complete control over the known world.

we're a modern day roman empire. if we want to run an account deficit, there's nothing anyone can do about it. we have all the guns!

everyone in the world has to deal with us on OUR terms.

so, party on! pass the bong!
