MASSIVE effect on the world economy. China whose trade imbalance with the U.S. is measured in the billions would be hardest hit. Thier economy would
take a severe nose dive. Europe as well would take a big hit as the U.S. is currently a net importer from europe. Mexico would also be hit very hard
with that economic trouble extending south thrugh South America. People in Africa would die by the hundreds of thousands as the U.S. aid packages are
feeding millions on that continent. Japan would be affected as its two biggest markets, America and Europe, would both be in the midst of a severe
recession. The fact is in this day and age the economies of all 1st world nations are inexorably intertwined and a blow to any one would have an
impact on the others. However as the U.S. is the largest consumer worldwide a major recession here wuld affect the rest of the world far more than a
major recession in germany or even the U.K. The only country I see that would weather the economic earthquake these hypothetical events would cuase
without to much discomfort is australia.
All is true, so do you people really think China,Europe and Japan would let that happen, I think not. They would support us to
protect
themselves. America falling to economic failure is probably one of there
worst fears.

I really don't care how big you Americans think you are, by having to shout it out so much it just shows the insecurites inherent to your
country.
Hey man, how is stating how big we are, showing our insecurities, I think it shows how proud we are of our country. I smell
jealousy.

You Americans need to relax and remember that there are 6,000,000,000 people on the planet not just your little 300,000,000. You are a superpower the
whole world knows it, get over it.
