Gaat Amerika eerder failliet dan Griekenland?
Europa heeft te maken met forse schuldenproblemen. Griekenland heeft een accuut probleem (de Grieken hebben namelijk binnen een paar weken 12 miljard euro nodig om niet failliet te gaan), maar ook de andere PIIGS bevinden zich in de gevarenzone.
Door alle perikelen in Griekenland zouden we bijna vergeten dat ze in de USA ook met een schuldenprobleem zitten opgezadeld. In de Verenigde Staten wordt steeds vaker gesproken over de mogelijkheid van een default. China liet deze maand al weten dat Amerika met vuur speelt en Simon Johnson, ex-baas van het International Monetair Fund (IMF), zei afgelopen week op de website TPM het volgende over een eventuele default van Amerika: '"It would be very damaging, there's no question about that. It would really destabilize financial markets and lead to all sorts of unpleasant repercussions in the United States and around the world."
Amerika heeft veel te veel geleend, te veel uitgegeven en te veel verse dollars uit het niets gecreërd. Resultaat is een schuld van 14,3 biljoen dollar, die het plafond nadert. Maar in de politiek kunnen ze het nog niet eens worden over een eventuele verhoging van de 'debt ceiling' Daarom stellen ze bij CNBC de vraag: Gaat Amerika eerder failliet dan Griekenland?

Op www.raptureready.com/featured/hahn/h58.html lees ik het volgende:
Generally, commodities are materials that are consumed and not items of wealth to be hoarded. They are “flow items” and not “assets.” The point to realize, then, is that hoarding short-life commodities with the objective of profiting from their rise in price has an unfortunate and destructive side effect. It disadvantages those who can no longer afford their purchase for living needs.
Consider that for most people in the world, food purchases account to between 25 to 50% of a household’s budget. Comparatively, the average North American household spends only 10-11% of their budget on food. Therefore, when asset managers begin to hoard commodities or manipulate their price upward, it causes excruciating hardships for billions around the globe. In this late, great era of advanced globalization and financialization, virtually all commodities are priced uniformly around the globe and their price can be manipulated though various financial instruments..
We see here that, in their endgame actions, wealthy countries, investors and/or large financial institutions disadvantage the majority—namely those that are relatively poorer or already disadvantaged. Yet, it is an accepted tactic in the investment world.
Several prophetic Bible verses speak of similar behavioural traits and conditions as we see becoming dominant in the world wide today: We here reference just two. Firstly, James, the epistle writer, prophesies the following:
“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter” (James 5:1-5).
