foreign economies must grow their domestic demand
we are abusing in horrendously inefficient style hard-earned savings from foreign sources
do we use their money well?
how?

in spending on trinkets, new cars, clothes, things we dont need?
in extending our credit toward limits?
in warring with Islamics in faraway lands?
in pork barrel projects like Mzippi Cruise Liners? ($700M)
in hefty govt, military, judicial pensions?
in paying interest on our $6400 billion Trez debt?

soon we will need foreign money just to pay off our interest on all the debt
when the deficits far exceed interest on the debt, look out

when USA balance sheets are cleansed via millions more bankruptcies, and foreign lands no longer lend us their precious capital, instead developing their own constructive demand systems, only then will the world economy recover

until then, we just dig a deeper hole
and put off the inevitable recessions to a later day
