I remember you did that in my introductory thread too
. C'mon, you think overthrowing a democratically elected government in Iraq and putting Saddam in its place, jointly conspiring with the French and cancelling the elections (late 50s I believe) in Vietnam because the winner would be pro-communist etc. doesn't qualify America as a rogue state?
And lets not turn this thread into an anti-American rant, I just want to know about the validity of the article.

No respectable economist thinks the US economy is on the verge of collapse.

Read the article, if even a portion of its claims are true and if the economists knew it, then their opinions might be different. That's the problem with economists and scientists, they generally stick to proven facts and statements when they write a paper on it. So if the American government has been moving around figures like the author says they have, and if these figures are not available for public perusal, then the economists beliefs would be misplaced, would they not?
I don't know.... the American dollar steadily declining in value, the trade imbalance reaching epic proportions, a lose of manufacturing capability, the national debt approaching unmanageable levels, the social security system in shambles (not good considering that the baby boomers are retiring soon) etc. .... shouldn't be a surprise that I'm starting to wonder whether there is some truth to this guy's claims.
