As part of a longer item explaining why China is becoming the world's most important economy, Puru Saxena crisply summarises America's position:
"...the U.S. is the largest debtor nation the world has ever seen, its debt to GDP ratio is over 400%, it has a negative personal savings rate, its currency is overvalued and its society is heavily dependent on consuming cheap, imported goods."
If you, personally, owed 4 times your annual income and were now supplementing your income by further borrowing ("negative savings rate"), you'd look for debt counselling.
Add this to Jim Willie's comments about the export of jobs, and you can see why The Mogambo Guru is raving in his latest letter.
