    How Will US Economy Most Impact Canada?

    The US economy is hanging by the neck and I suspect the spasmodic jolting will soon become evident. Here is their financial sheet:

    ....$1.5 TRILLION deficit

    ....40% increase in Government employee hiring.

    .....Unfunded Liabilities $105 TRILLION (includes old age pensions etc)

    ...... $13 TRILLION Debt

    .... 9% Unemployment

    ...The US Government has backed 96.5% of all home loans

    ...Boss Tweed era

      Pars,

      The Chinese do the same things... but because their economy is state run, anything their gov does is... 'good'!

      Currency manipulation...Import/export taxes, price controls, subsidies... all are just fine.

      What a crazy world.

      And we in the west swallowed it hook line and sinker!

        Tom, in your opinion, how do Western farmers best protect themselves from the economic tsunami that is headed our way?

            marc faber said the other day on bnn that in some respects the usa is worse off than the european countries and he expects the whole global economy to crash and we can hit reset. that's how i see it playing out too. the economies have been so hobbled by corporate and individual entitlements that efficiencies in the marketplace are very low. don't worry, be happy. faber got a good laugh when he said if obama comes on tv now he switches to a video of lady gaga.

              doesn't think much of china either. that's getting to be a more common sentiment.

                  I like the "re-boot"exchange and the hacks on greece.

                  He kind of touched on it but never actually said that
                  the us government did confiscate gold in the past.

                  Probably the day capitilism died.
