However, there is one other thing that is also true. One thing that the anti-American trolls always forget. We always have the Bubba Brigade. This counrty was founded by flag waving, flag loving rednecks. And guess what. They procreated. You think that just because we have some economic problems that will stop Americans? Fuck you. We've been there, done that, and have the fucking t-shirt.
Most of you "anti-Americans" wouldn't have the freedoms you have today if we hadn't stepped in and finished WW2. You'd be goose stepping and saluting Hitler Jr.
You want the USA to crash? You want us ruined and broke? Fuck you, bring it on you fucking bitches. Hell most of your so called countries owe us money now. You wouldn't even have the Internet, if we hadn't put it out there for you.

I'm not sure if people are saying they want the US economy to fail. Sure, there is a perverse pleasure in watching such an (at times) arrogant country get some just deserts, but it's hard to wish a recession on normal citizens.
And just because bubbas procreate doesn't make America the best and most unstoppable country in the world.
As for borrowing beyond your means being the American way...
A few F.D.R. quotes:
"A nation, like a person, has a mind--a mind that must be kept informed and alert, that must know itself, that understands the hopes and needs of its neighbors--all the other nations that live within the narrowing circle of the world."
"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. "
And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.
- Thomas Jefferson
Rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
- Benjamin Franklin
