Until American capital resufaces in the world scene this will get worse. They all follow our lead and have no options in taking that lead from us as they simply have no foundation to do so.As america goes so goes the world. When we shut down in 1930 the world tumbled. As we slow down now the world stumbles. No other nation or group of nations can sustain this world economy and no amount of bluff can make that statement false. If the US shuts down again politicly and suffocates the flow of capital expect the worst. Vote wisely America,the world is depending on it.
