Economia americana durante a folga

Aproveito um momento de folga do Polar Queen (onde tenho aprendido muito) para visitar meus pais e navegar na excelente internet fornecida pela GVT em Vitória. O plano é de 10Mb e já medi 6 o que dá 10 vezes mais do que tenho, por um preço semelhante. A pergunta agora é quando que a GVT vai chegar em Macaé? Fibra ótica já!

No meio da navegação encontrei um artigo interessante no Alleyinsider com o seguinte título, numa tradução livre: "20 razões porque a economia americana está morrendo e não vai se recuperar". Vejam abaixo:

Even though the U.S. financial system nearly experienced a total meltdown in late 2008, the truth is that most Americans simply have no idea what is happening to the U.S. economy. Most people seem to think that the nasty little recession that we have just been through is almost over and that we will be experiencing another time of economic growth and prosperity very shortly.



But this time around that is not the case. The reality is that we are being sucked into an economic black hole from which the U.S. economy will never fully recover.


The problem is debt. Collectively, the U.S. government, the state governments, corporate America and American consumers have accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world. Our massive debt binge has financed our tremendous growth and prosperity over the last couple of decades, but now the day of reckoning is here.

And it is going to be painful.
