If you don't like it feel free to cash in all your US investments and put your money in Russia. I'm sure it will be much safer in Putins hands than ours...

Thank you for you recommendation but I would rather invest that money to somewhere within EU like France or Germany. Not perfect choices but better than U.S. in my opinion. However I do not happen to be Minister of Finance or Primeminister so my possibilities to change anything are not very high.

Meanwhile I think it would be good for all of us to listen some instructional music.

Wenn getanzt wird, will ich führen,
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht,
lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren,
Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.
! Lyrics are available here if you need them.

I agree. The United States must end it's parasitic ways and wasteful use of resources. I would start be ending the billions upon billions of dollars spent on foreign aid to places like Africa, the Middle East, Israel, Greece, Lithuania, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Serbia and, oh say, Russia.

On a much smaller proportionate scale I would ask that the UK follow suit
