Could possibly be considered a political statement I guess. Carry on.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I think we will find that it is not just the US that is in this.  Europe will be looking at the same thing and they don't have the handle on their own problems yet.

It's just another example showing that the economics of the globe is rather closely integrated. There is no such thing as an isolated industrial nation. As long as you trade you are integrated in the global market. The larger the trade the higher the integration.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Meanwhile, OPEC is having an emergency meeting to decide what to do with the falling price of a barrel. Who wants to wager that they cut production in half, further worsing the global situation?
