America = doomed (merged many times)

Yes, TDK, jealous we are, and so thankful that we need to pay for your way of life and your superior model. Paying for it on and on and on, it makes us happy.

Try to run your model we envy you for without cheating by using other people's money, use exclsuively your own - then you may have a claim to make about how great your model work. Until then, I would prefer to brag a bit lesser about how fantastic we are, if I were you. your nation is not an example for the rest of the globe anymore, as it has been until decades ago - it is the globe'S greatest problem today. And still you think you are the greatest?

Or in other words: give us (the non-american rest of the globe) back our money, TDK, two thirds of your yearly GDP. And compensate us for the loss of profits and the loss oif hundreds of thousands of jobs that is to be expected as a conseqeunce of the recession your nation's failed finance policy has kicked us into, and compensate us for the increased burden this puts onto our social budgets. In germany we have reduced spendings over the past years and expected to have the first balanced state budget without new debts next year - thanks to the crisis made in the US, we can forget that and will increase our new debts again now - years of fiscal policy of ours lost and ruined. We are so jeaulous for you, yes we are! Do all that, get rid of your debts and compensate us for the dmaages you have done to us, and then you have an argument indeed to claim your model has unused ressources and can be successful and revive itself like phoenix rises from the ashes, and that it can run by itself and without help from the outside. Right now it has proven to cause a mess, if being allowed running for just long enough, it is a patient on the intensive-care-station. And all we non-american nations and economies need to clean the mess that you have made by refusing to stop while there still was time, and we need to suffer massive losses - for your model failing. You are the greatest debtor in the world - that successful your model works.

And I do not even touch the issue of widening social gaps inside your country, and the accumulation of more and more wealth at a smaller and smaller top of the social hierarchy while more and more people become poorer and poorer.

AntEater is right, things won't be too great in the EU, too, for different reasons - what America has too little, the EU has too much: regulations. Both does damage, but there can be no doiuzbt that the current crisis that I more and more understand to be just unfolding in it'S starting sequence has been caused by and in America. and where foriegn bansk and economies suffer losses as well, it is becaseu they allowed to be infested with the virus that had taken over the american finance system. That is not a recommendation for that finance system - but the exact opposite.
