Ron Paul's Predictions

[Bigerik]

As a patriotic aside, Canada is one of the very few countries in the world with a solid AAA rating. Most of the other countries, like Sweden,Norway and Denmark, would all be considered "socialist" in the US of A.

Let's see.

Sweden. Refused to join the Euro because they didn't want to give up monopolistic control of their currency. AAA rated. Check.

Norway, refused to use the Euro because of similar reasons. AAA Rated. Check.

Denmark, same story. AAA Rated. Check.

There were some nice advantages to creating the Euro for businesses, but the governments who gave away control of their money supply are largely regretting that decision right now. They have relegated themselves to a similar position as states in the US which holds them to the same debt rules as a household.

Canada, US, the others mentioned above, Japan and a few others have no such constraints on their economy. Even if the US seems to be too dim to realize it.

Don't get so down on the average American schmoe.

We were trained to be ignorant on purpose.
