National debt, I wonder who has the highest in the world?

Seen the Euro against the dollar rate lately?

But-but-but...Bush = Hitler!!!

jarjar, please eat your face.

Stunning intellectual argument there Mikey.

Bush=Hitler, not my comment

Bush=chimp would be my line!

Hey Jarjar, the key to figuring out how a debt will hurt a country is to compare it to the their GDP. A lower percentage is preferable. We kick just about everyones ass in that respect as well with one of the lowest. Espescially against those two weenies. I think our percentage is about half of theirs.

Bye bye Jar. Try again. Actually, on the other hand, don't. You're becoming an annoyance. We should start charging you for this information.

Dear god, could someone please explain to me how jarjar can be so fucking sand-poundingly stupid and still have the brainpower required to draw breath?

Go take an economics class, you stupid shit. It's getting bothersome to have AK, Mark and Neal educate you little by little.

The EU is just doing swimmingly, that's why it's economic policy just fell apart.

Unemployemnt is stagnent and they are now engaged in high deficit spending.

The pound was always higher than the dollar, but that hardly made the UK economy any great shakes for decades. You're blowing smoke......

Let's compare some other figures shall we?

Let's see now, we earn more, produce more and consume more. Our GDP is in explosive growth and consumer sales are booming.

Now why exactly are we supposed to think the EU has any freakin idea what it's doing when your economies haven't moved more than two points in unemployment in over a decade.

You guys suck.

Goodness it's not just me who has no grasp of economics, it's the worlds currency traders as well!

"While the U.S. fed funds rate stands at a 45-year low of 1 percent and is not expected to rise imminently, higher interest rates in many other major economies have dulled the dollar's appeal to foreign investors."

The Euro is worth almost 1 and a 1/4 dollars, oooohhhhhh, we're shaking.

If you understood the article you post, you would see something almost immediately. The foriegn investers are speculating, shooting craps for a higher return on your higher interest rates, thus trading down the dollar. Those higher rates are stifling your economies, at the expense of growth, and if your Euro keeps rising that means your goods are more expensive. Which means they will stop selling, which means your unemployment rates are going to go up if this continues.

No, you are an idiot. We'll walk away smelling like a rose and your economies will stumble, again......

So do you like living on welfare?
