This economic crisis sucks, And i didnt contribute to it. so why should i be paying for it.? If obama wins im moving to canada. This country is not ready for black president. and canada has some good buds. so it would be a win-win. and i hear their pretty liberal over there.
lol lol it doesnt matter, in 2005, bush pass a law, that canada, mexico, and america will become american union, and the dollar will change to ameros.. its changing, look at the new pennies, they might be ameros...
Yeah I think if this crisis gets worse you won´t be able to get away by just moving to Canada or Europe. Maybe a GC island?
Not necessarily, in the last 30 years, the Canadian economy has really diversified, there is a lot of insulation between the two economies. Besides, Canada doesn't carry nearly the amount of debt that Americans do.
I wouldn´t go that far. Brazil depends a whole lot on the US for their economy, I´m inclined to say they´ll be hit hard. Their stock market has fallen a whole lot and is way too volatile. Hopefully nothing happens to them. Argentine monetary & economic policy is just ridiculous, I´m pretty sure they´ll be hit hard as is custom for the last couple decades. Peru has been doing well economically, this will be a test for them. Haven´t heard news of them, but no news is good news right? Bolivia is screwed, they´re on the brink of a civil war right now, so I don´t think they´ll be OK. If Ecuador can get their new socialist constitution right (even though I don´t agree with socialism) they might be OK because they usually do well. If not, they´re screwed. Venezuela has been screwed for a while now with Chavez and with the dollar falling and price of petrol/gas falling as well, they´re probably screwed. Haven´t read news from Colombia so I guess the same as Peru applies here. And we (Chile ) are "not falling" which I guess is good. We´ve been saving money (supposedly) for a bad crisis, have a sound monetary & economic policy and have a fiscal surplus, so we should do OK. But every time some government official says we´ll be "A ok" we get hit hard, so I don´t really know where we stand on this one.
They also do not bring in nearly the amound of income America brings in, anyways everybody knows when the shit goes down blame Canada.
No, I Iearned something today, and it's that America is our home team, and if you don't want to root for the home team then get the hell out of the stadium. Stan Marsh.
Still a G8, my friend, with only 10% the population. Can't argue much with a GDP of 43,485 per capita.
Thanks man, good info! I was going off my assumption that most of South America had kicked the US out of their economic affairs... but I was wrong. Sounds good, I wish your country the best of luck!
Right back at you. The last thing I want is to see over three hundred million people swindled by bad policy.
