Now think about what VAT will do to US savings.... http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2009/09/julian-robertson/ It is not "if" but "when"....
Who cares if they have the "tail" as long as we have the power militarily. if you think we are "donkeys", I really hope you don't live in our borders. keep posting your garbage, it is 100% meaningless. Clowns brought up this crap 10 years ago...nothing ever happens.
