warpedskydiver 0 #4 January 18, 2008 We could always tell them to fuck off, just like many other countries do. They call that debt forgiveness when they refuse or cannot pay the USA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(What would happen if America demanded other countries repay their loans from America?) a lot of US based multi-nationals would lose a lot of contracts. Politicians would lose their jobs QuoteWhat would happen if America stopped donating food around the world and used the food to feed Americans?

lawrocket 3 #6 January 18, 2008 QuoteWhat would happen if America stopped donating money around the world and used the money to repay loans from other countries? The rest of the world would call us heartless. Americans would rethink the wisdom for maintaining strategic interests. Money talks. Quote(What would happen if America demanded other countries repay their loans from America?) Depends on the terms of the loans. A lot of this is grant money. QuoteWhat would happen if America stopped donating food around the world and used the food to feed Americans? Food prices would drop. Farmers would go out of business. And political stability would be lost in many places. On the other hand, developments in bio-fuels would likely increase even more as a glut in domestic supplies makes such fuels cheaper. QuoteWhat would happen if America stopped donating medicine around the world and used the medicine to treat Americans? There wouldn't be much of a change. Let's face it - we aren't donating Viagra or Cialis to Sub-Saharan Africa. We are donating antibiotics, etc. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #7 January 18, 2008 QuoteWhat would happen if America stopped donating money around the world and used the money to repay loans from other countries? (What would happen if America demanded other countries repay their loans from America?) Our annual donations is in the billions, the outstanding debts in the trillions. So if we make this move, we better balance the budget again first, because once we started stalling our creditors they're not going to buy any more treasuries. And that's still not enough unless Americans start buying all maturing bonds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
