usa nett debt to pass 8 trillion dollars, page-8

What you and many more (including "economists" , "political analysts" and "other experts") tend to totally ignore is the fact that the USA today is (whether we like it or not, whether we admit it or not) a World Superpower, a World Empire.
In fact (chronologically) it's the 7th World Empire in Human Kind's written history.
In the past ALL previous empires (with the notable exception of that of Alexander's) conquered lands and peoples for the glory and economic (to mention the two, most important aspects) empowerment of the Motherland (eg. Medo-Persia, Rome, Great Britain, to name just three...).
For the first time ever, we have an Economic, Political, Military and Social empire that does NOT DEMAND......DOES NOT GET BY FORCE the wealth of other (subservient(?) nations......
It kindly expects others, that have been treated exceptionally well (by the Modern World Empire -USA) in the past, now to contribute toward the sustainability and continuity of the (at least economically) of that Empire (USA), a situation that ultimately may (as it does...) lead to the prosprerity of the rest of the World......
Hence the buying (techically, bailing-out?) of US Government bonds and other US financial Securities and derivatives.
They (we...) all know, If the Empire were to be left without any (economic) clothes, WE , ALL, will suffer the consequences......It appears, there are many out there,who, even though may not appreciate the erstwhile economic-military-political "kindness" of the World's Seventh Superpower, they are pragmatic enough to realiase that if today's economic "Sampson" goes down......He will take the rest of us with him!!!!!
