1. The present financial order may benefit Germans, but it has been DISASTROUS for Americans.

So I say, "hooray!" :cheers:

"The end of US world financial dominance"

3. The financial mess is felt all over the world - not just the US

4. That seems only fair to me.

Don't see how a disruption in the German economy should bother me if it doesn't bother me to live in the country with the greatest childhood poverty in the developed world, for instance. :hi:

2. I, for one, see this as a good thing

We should start focusing on squaring away our own house before doing the hegemony thing

5. The USA has lost what money can't buy

Trust and credibilty in the financial markets. Gonna take a long time to recover from that - if ever.

6. I feel so sad

That America has lost it's credibility and respect of the world. Just thinking that how revered the USA used to be. Thank you Mr. Bush.
