Excuse me, but, how much does the Almighty United States of America, owe the Chinese ? Last figure I got was in the vicinity of 2 1/2 TRILLION dollars that's $2,500,000,000,000,000.oo OZ owe the entire Asian countries, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India etc. $400 million A very significantly lower figure We have to import almost everything because the goddam yankees butted into our economy and "advised " us to go their way. Look mate, you stupid lot of ****s fought in Viet Nam for a lost cause. America told you to jump and you jumped and your young men died for nothing. You went to the $ because you thought it was big and clever. You gained nothing. You invited America into your economic and social world. America eventually saw you lot as ******s and pulled out. I got some of my "education" in your ******** of a country. This from "teachers" who spoke in broken English. Google Seaton Park Technical High School for Boys. I lived at 6 Ladd Street, Seaton Park, Adelaide. I am glad you didn't stay here, we can do without the fools. The best moment of my life was in that 707 northbound and looking down on your ******** of a country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f_p0CgPeyA |

But they have huge mineral and
fossil fuel reserves. The hugely amusing thing about mostly Americans, and to a lesser extent Australians, is that the more foolish of them attribute their material wealth to moral worth, god's race, political systems, or just a superior culture. Few of them admit even to themselves that its harts to be poor sitting on a goldmine. |

I feel you have made a simple typo in your zeros but since counting system "trillions" and "billions" are not longer defined, thanks to the USA making a mess of all measurement systems, I wanted clarification to your posting. The correct text would be defined differently in each continent of the world. Don't feed the troll. He was your "aussie" friend here under another nickname. He loves to fill the group with turmoil.

Do a check and you will find that half of it is made overseas. The wheels, made in OZ for years the electrics, made in Taiwan The front forks were made in Japan, probably still are Motor technology comes from Germany. That is why the HD factory went broke in the 1970's, they thought they could make the best motorcycle, but couldn't, AMI took over and they went broke, then they discovered overseas talent for making motorcycles and implemented that process and are still afloat for now. |

Excuse me, but, how much does the Almighty United States of America, owe the Chinese ? Last figure I got was in the vicinity of 2 1/2 TRILLION dollars that's $2,500,000,000,000,000.oo OZ owe the entire Asian countries, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, India etc. $400 million A very significantly lower figure We have to import almost everything because the goddam yankees butted into our economy and "advised " us to go their way. I am glad you didn't stay here, we can do without the fools. =============== Funny counting system used in Australia. Was that a long scale or short scale trillion or is that a prison education standard counting system? -- Eric Well, I do not know about the prison counting system But, obviously you do =================== Your stated numeric number would be correctly stated as: in the long scale system "two thousand, five hundred thousand million" in the short scale system "two quadrillion, five hundred trillion" not the "2 1/2 TRILLION" your stated in text. I feel you have made a simple typo in your zeros but since counting system "trillions" and "billions" are not longer defined, thanks to the USA making a mess of all measurement systems, I wanted clarification to your posting. The correct text would be defined differently in each continent of the world. Don't feed the troll. He was your "aussie" friend here under another nickname. He loves to fill the group with turmoil. All the best -- Eric Thanks for your input Eric, but I was only quoting from sauces on the USA debt, which was stated as being 2 1/2 trillion dollars Maybe I did miss out on a few zeros and it is a pity that one of those zeros didn't get Mr Pounder when he was here but then, that's another country and it's airplane he is only knowledgeable on the 707 from the 1960's, Big Old Jet Airliner too much wacky baccy for his brain has completely fried it. |

That is why the HD factory went broke in the 1970's, they thought they could make the best motorcycle, but couldn't, AMI took over and they went broke, then they discovered overseas talent for making motorcycles and implemented that process and are still afloat for now.

There's only one car company worth talking about (for us mid income folk) and that is Subaru. Say it after me: S•U•B•A•R•U. Fuji Industries know how to build a car. Is it classy? Nope. Does it work? Always. Safe? Yup. Fast? If you want one that is, no problem. Them's little tanks. |
