#6  As per 32, how can the US Govt-Fed fail iff every Amerikan are all MEXICANS, CANADIANS, + GREENLANDERS = "CONTINENTALISTS" [North AMerika] + "REGIONALISTS" [USoAmerika per se] now under OWG NAU + so-called TPTAS???

D *** NG IT, AS A NEW OWG "CONTINETALIST" WHERE IS MY FREE LIFETIME AIRLINE PASS ON CONTINENTAL AIRLINES - DITTO AS A "REGIONALIST" + SOUTHWEST AIRLINES, AIR MEXICO, AIR CANADA, ETC!

WHY, OBAMA, WHY!?

lol.

The good news is ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA + IRAN MAY BARTER WEAPONS FOR OIL - THE HINDU.

* RELATED BHARAT RAKSHAK > [IBT] CHINA + IRAN WEIGH US$1.0BILYUHN DEAL TO SWAP CHENGDU J-10 FIGHTERS [24 ea. J-10's to start, up to 150 tote]. FOR [Chinese control of Iranian] MAJOR OIL FIELD.

Almost seems like IRAN = USA + PORK/DEFICIT-HAPPY CONGRESS = BORROWED A LOT OF BOND $$$ FROM CHINA.

POTUS OBAMA = the US can't take China off its Financial System, i.e. NEEDS TO KEEP BORROWING FROM CHINA, ETAL. IN ORDER TO SUPPORT ITS SUPER-MASSIVE-N-STILL-GROWING WELFARE-NANNY STATE + NEW SOCIALIST ORDER.

#3  0 Doing everything for yourself.
1 Barter
2 Using money is just temporal barter (i.e. you can wait till you need the goods).
3 Credit/Debt is temporal money.
4 ?
As long as they assist comparative advantage then the economy will flourish. Taxes that harm comparative advantage such as income and the badly named "fair" (deferred income) tax will cause economic problems.

#2  Yes, DV. I must get to work on my chicken coop. When the government fails the people have to figure it out themselves. Most likely the'll end up better off that way.
