<<<right now I think Japan would go to any extreme to cover up the kind of problems they have> wouldn't the US want to "assist" in propping up there market? if Japan gets in trouble than they sell US treasuries and in turn we have to raise interest rates, right? we need them to buy our bonds so we can pay OUR debts? or, it seems according to the president we have that whole deficit thing way under control....... Is the pres saying we have the yearly deficit under control (i think thats what he means) or the national debt? i wonder how many people no the difference, or care (a little off topic.....thats why i think its important to have leaders with strong character.........pleasure now pain later?) doesnt japan in a way have us hostage? at anytime they can dump our bonds and send our markets into havoc.....we may not be engaged in a real war but they can play with us if they really want to....maybe they are waiting for the right moment to drop a bombshell on us......wait till everyone in america has 2-3 mutual funds and .......jsut random thoughts as i try to figure the world out : )
