You seem very sure denu...and with the loss of the AAA rating the odds are getting stacked higher against the USA keeping its status. The FED government are trillions of dollars in debt and the bank keeps printing money it hasn't got. I said once before, that at the moment the BRIC countries are fast becoming very rich. The Chinese have been buying gold like it was going out of fashion, and almost every person that works in China saves one third of their wages. If push came to shove, could America buy its debt back from the Chinese and stay solvant?

Be well IAN 2411
