I’ve been reading alot about the American Deficit and the Debt of 8+ trillion Dollars, Every day now it seem that the Dollar against the Euro is sinking like the titanic 
It’s pretty scary when you read how the finance of the country is setup! I would love a bank that would keep lending me money no matter what:) I came across this website www.militaryindustrialcomplex.com and it had the entire farewell address to be people of America from Dwight Eisenhower when he stepped down as president. It amazing that for everything that he warned about, is coming to pass… Really scary stuff..
I’ve read a great number of articles about Oil Peak, and for me it’s a ticking time bomb of our own doing..
I was just doing a comparsion of Cars from GM and Cars from a few European Manufactures, I’m really shocked that even still today the vast majority of Cars from GM on average get about 25MPG (highway)(Petrol) taking that US gallon is 3.78 Liters I’m amazed that Cars in Europe can get for 100KM 4.1 Litres with is roughly 55+MPG (Diesel).
So while the World is running out of Oil the US is happy to go ahead and still produce very inefficient cars. Why ?
I have read, if oil producing countries were tomorrow to ask for payment in Euro, the Dollar would not survive, and the Banks would call in the loans….the Dollar becomes virtually worthless if oil is not bought or sold in dollars, the need for banks around the world to have Dollar reserves would for the most part be null and void except for the usual foreign exchange(I think) The more I read the more I get worried that the house of cards is going to fall, and it won’t be a soft one! I have to wonder can Europe survive without the America ? Ireland is greatly reliant on America, A lot of American companies have HQ here, I suppose the question is, will Ireland survive without America?
A number of people wrote some books on the subject of Empires and compared America to that of Rome! Amazon has a few books on the topic!
Hmmm, only time will tell i suppose, and on that note.
