US interest rise

[zack1234]

Why will the rise in US interest rates affect the rest of the world?

The Pitch Fork Brigade keep gibbering on about the US being overtaken by China

So is the US bankrupt or not?

Is North Korea or Iceland to blame for China making rubbish He-Man characters?

The world standard, like it or not is based on the US Dollar, that's why oil is listed in dollars per barrel not yen, euros, etc.
When the US economy changes, it being the largest, it affects the rest of the world.
This does not mean I agree in any way with this concept, it just is?

[zack1234]

So why is it the World standard if the US is on the brink of disaster every three weeks or so?

According to the Pitch Fork brigade?

Because you Europeans can't agree to all form a cohesive economy without someone trying to drop out every other week,  and China, the next largest after the US, is a rather unsavory character.

You cannot answer the question,

You silly, the answer is if its not growing its dieing.  All your problems are dependant on intellectual rights and the people that hate them.

Why will the rise in US interest rates affect the rest of the world?

One of these is true.

Explanation #1:  Because of how it changes the cost of borrowing in US dollars (which lots of the world does), the price of US bonds (which lots of the world owns), and the dynamics of import/export prices.

Explanation #2:  Because the Illuminati want it to do so.

I (like you) remember the talk of Japan taking over the world in the 80's, and buying up all of America.  Then, their economy crapped the bed, and they had to sell those assets back at prices much lower than the highly bloated ones they paid.  The same might happen with the Chinese.  There are only so many ghost cities you can build before the bloom comes off the miracle.

So is the US bankrupt or not?

Yes.  (So are most other countries, though.)

Is North Korea or Iceland to blame for China making rubbish He-Man characters?

Greenland is to blame.  (However, we know that it is a puppet government of North Korea, with whom it is attached by a gigantic secret tunnel.)

Anerica's number one export is inflation. We've been engaged in a currency war, just ensuring our fiat is a better investment than the other options, which is BRIC or the Euro. Easy enough, which means our suckage is slightly better than your suckage.

According the "The Skyscraper Index" there is much pain ahead, worldwide.
