I don't think so.

Then again, it depends on how you define first world and third world. My idea of a first world country is a place where people get rewarded for their achievements, and people with potential and talent can push their abilities to the limit. If some poor sods can't cut it, they should keep trying, and if they fail, well, they were probably shit anyway. You can't win at life without somebody losing. If somebody can sit around doing nothing all day getting fat off tax money which is half your salary, he is the winner and you are the loser.

It would cause a very deep global recession, there is no reason to do it, ever. Someone mentioned holding debt to devalue the dollar so that they can leverage it to buy oil. THAT is what China is doing and it's fueled their economic growth over the last ten years. There is no doubt in my mind that the fall of the dollar due to foreign holding and the import of 73% of our required oil per day (resulting in 400+ billion dollars of money to leave our economy (more than the entire Iraq war has cost every year)) is what is pulling our dollar and our economy down.

I'd say most countries don't reasonably assume that they won't get their money back.
Plus, pension funds etc.

Indebted countries keep spending more because they won't see the consequences before tens of years, and it might restart their economy following a keynesian scheme ( govt spend more = people from country get money = people spend money = demand goes up) of course, that's basic and only works in cases where people don't spend that money on foreign products.

Actually, the US doesn't imports goods from everywhere and some countries live very well without US importation.

But, China, for example, is currently dependent on the US to fuel it's growth, it's totally right, they can't afford right now to hurt the dollar, they'd risk their own economy.

But their goal is to become independent economically from the US in the mid-long term( give it 20 to fifty years to try that) so eventually, that argument might or might not become void.

The gas prices will not go higher as a result of becoming a net exporter of oil, it would stay about the same, the only difference would be the huge, huge boost in GDP that we'd receive from domestic production, plus the creation of a ton of jobs.

Plus, there are oil companies in the US (Valero) who do not do any drilling at all. They simply buy oil and refine it and then sell it, they still make a profit but their profit margin is down about 80% over the last year. You already saw what happened to oil prices with President Bush taking the executive order banning offshore drilling out, now with a few democrats rumbling the same thing the price is holding steady at $120.

The only thing stopping us from moving in the right direction, crazed environmentalists and Stalinesque Nancy Pelosi, who has threatened any democrat who votes for drilling. I could have sworn that representatives and senators were supposed to vote in the direction that their constituency was more inclined toward, I'm pretty sure most Americans are ready to do something about oil.

The unfortunate thing about most Americans is that along with the laundry list of other basic things they do not understand, they certainly do not understand macroeconomics.

According to the USGS the United States holds, in its territories and its coastal waters, at least as much oil as the Middle East. Up until now, you haven't really seen those numbers because Oil Shale wasn't profitable to exploit, now it is profitable due to the increase in price.

The United States requires 1.3 million barrels of oil per day, our oil resources are at a minimum above 50 billion barrels, some geologist types are speculating into the trillions of barrels, which I'm not so sure about. Regardless, it's plenty and if you take ANWR and the amount of land they want to drill on (2000 acres, was it?) out of millions and millions of acres, it doesn't seem like some monstrous environmental catastrophe. Hell, ANWR is a swamp in the arctic circle when it's thawed and a field of ice when it's not. Furthermore, if you remember back to the super destructive Hurricane Katrina and it's path of destruction over the gulf of mexico, do you recall any talk of oceanic oil spills? No. Because those rigs are environmentally sound, the rigs were trashed but no oil escaped into the ocean thanks to good oversight and regulation.

Well, you're certainly right in terms of the manufacturing side of things, petroleum based products and the like but the clear leader in oil consumption is fuel.

I love doing battle with idealist environmentalists, my favorite quote is from Jurassic Park's prologue but I think it's too wall of text for here, so I urge you to look it up and read it.

The main point of it is this: "Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in Arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again."

Not insulting but I guess it's time to break down how banking works in the US, since it seems to be uncommon knowledge.

At the top is the Federal Reserve, they are the bank for banks, basically. The reserves of all the banks in our country are housed here, meaning that every day every bank in the country transfers their reserves (everything they have minus cash on hand) to the Federal Reserve. From this reserve (actual reserves) each bank has a required minimum (required reserves) the difference between the two are their excess reserves. From excess reserves banks are allowed to make loans.

When a bank lends money, say $50,000 to a business, that business owes them a interest, the business then writes checks to other institutions which deposit those amounts into their respective banks, which increases their lending power.

So say the business receiving $50,000 from bank A writes a $40,000 check to business B who deposits that amount into their bank, that bank now has an additional amount in their reserves, which after taking out the small amount of required reserves now has the ability to make another $30,000(approx) in new loans.

That is how we describe the creation of money by creating deposits.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1070547

whoosh

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>1070549
So those 50 000 actually spawned more money, because the bank loaning them still virtually has them, while the bank where business B deposited the 40 000 can also use them, right ?
Also, isn't minimum deposit around ten percent or something like that?

Right, supposedly, he's to wait after election year before he starts touching at the rates concerning inflation.
I was having a summer job in an investment bank when he talked about the inflation, last month, I still remember being surpsied at how people reacted.

Which president's reelection was ruined by fed policy during an election year? I can't seem to remember .

No, it's simply the developped in the sense of education, lifespan and personal liberties ( although I don't agree on that point, many of the higher ranking countries practice social politics which I consider would bite on my personal liberties, the right to dispose of one's work being the most endangered in social inclined countries. Freedom of press is also an element.)

What I suspected.
I wonder, would the climate actually be to blame for the lack of development this continent has known before our arrival?
In the north, we had to make clothes, buildings and the such to be able to survive, whereas these people spread on a much larger surface seem to have much less of these worries.

not saying that they're less evolved or ignorant, I mean they had less effort probably to put in their structures.
They have clothes, of course, but I don't think they've known many harsh winters, or had to protect themselves from weather conditions by using structures as sturdy as ours.
They were also spread much farther apart, which I believe reduced the possibilities of interaction between beings, don't you think ?

In essence, they suffer from a lack of culture. When all you know is tribal squabbling and hilariously inefficient farming methods, there's no spare time for fine art of literature.

Yes, but they started from the same point as us, right.
So the only thing that might have gone a different way is spread and climate.
While we had the luck of fertile ground, we could eat plentily and develop better farming methods.
Their climate probably never allowed them to access such ease, working all the time to preserve a small crop didn't give them much time for improvement.
