Traditionally, the U.S. government is known around the world for its covert manipulation and military destruction, but also it's economic plunder of many societies. The more recent habit of printing money has devalued all of the foreign holdings that other countries have inside the U.S. Now that Bernanke is going to spend 600 BILLION in the next FEW MONTHS and all of that money is going to be printed....YES, other countries are VERY MAD,....especially China.
