Yes it would, Feeko. It would also enable other countries to declare bankruptcy and then we could get on with living in the real world...the world where you pay for what you buy.
The US, through its exaggeratted and undue influence on the the WTO, the World Bank, and the IMF has made a play to control us all. The trick is that they've done it all with money they don't have. You can never borrow your way out of debt...it's one of the big lies.
I shot a game of pool like that once...went double or nothing without putting my cash on the rail. I knew I was going to win, and the guy was a rube anyway. Kind of backwoods, not too "up" on the ways of the modern world.
I lost, scratched on the eight ball. It was an ugly shot and I took it anyway, thinking the English would save me. That cue ball spun like a bitch
but in the end it headed for that black hole. I took the wrong shot and went with brute force instead of finesse.
When they understood what had happened, the entire bar was on my ass. It cost me a good Seiko, a watch worth much more then the bet was. I took some lumps too...hell, I deserved them.
I left that bar with blood pouring from my head, no idea what time it was, and a newly learned lesson in economics. I'm a little smarter for it, even all this time later.
Apparently the leaders of the US aren't smart enough to shoot pool....
