You'd think the massive US debt, increasing poverty, inter ethnic tensions would take up the time of these four US politicians, but alas playing Caesar seems to be their passion and they will continue to play the fiddle of another ever so fateful roman emperor and things burn down around them.
Hi WAZ,
There is a reason why all these things are not affecting the United States as much as the world wants it to.
1) Regarding Debt-
We all love to quote that USA has more than 14 trillion of debt. But, we do not look at the break up of the debt. Nearly 10 trillion to 11 trillion of the debt is internal and hence, USA can easily default these without any external threats. Hence, if we look at the remaining debt, which is external, it is around 40 - 50 percent of its GDP. This is still very high but not enough for USA to crumble.
2) Increasing Poverty-
They are still amongst the developed nations with a very high per capita income.
3) Inter ethnic tensions -
Not so highly prevailent in USA.
And yes, they do love to play the game of WORLD POLICE
But then, you need someone to do this (though not in this manner).
