If the USA economy goes down where in the world would Americans run to find a job to support their family?
Answer:
Actually, over the last 3-4 years, at least 7 of my friends left the country to work overseas (most ended up permanently moving after trying it out) to places like Moscow, Dubai, Shanghai, etc. (Most were born in those countries). They are doing beyond great, far greater that they could ever dream here.
Vietnam where Nike makes all their shoes for 25 cents a day
If the American economy goes down, the world goes down. We are the economic engine of the world.
Think Great Great Great Depression.
Or Dark Ages.
We don't.
There won't be any "New Deal" either, as this economy is the "New Deal" economy and the debt that it accumulated will be one to bring it down. We can't increase the debt when nobody is willing to lend the credit.
There will chaos in the streets.
Bigger economies have fallen?
Your question is obviously false starting from that premise. The US is the biggest economy that has ever existed, therefore it is impossible for bigger economies to have fallen in the past.
But to answer your question, we wouldn't run anywhere. We'd make our own new jobs right here.
Pakistan to take a job breaking up obsolete oil tankers and earn the hazardous pay rate of $2.00/day.
You'd likely see internal migrations, like in the Dust Bowl years, though perhaps in the opposite direction.
Thousands of years ago, the entire world was supported by the riches from the India, people gave their life to find way to get to India. Arab Trader who used to bring the goods from India sell to Europeans kept the land route to India a secret for many years.
Finally Europeans found a way to India and pludered its wealth and left it a country we all call aThird World Nation.
Today US is the richest country, by the time we run this nation dry there will be Mars or beyond :)
Well, there's always China.
I hear the apple pickers there are earning 22 cents an hour.
Then again, I have to wonder if they would accommodate the language and customs of an illegal immigrant.
The United States is the economic leader of the world. If we fall, every other countries will also fall.
If the American economy fails, the world economy will fail. In all seriousness, if the American economy failed, there would be absolutely nowhere to run. The US the the financial base for the majority of the worlds industrialized nations. Another Great Depression would be the end of America. It has become too large for the government to contain the depression like it did in the 30s. The world would fall economically, and thus, war would break out. The well-being of the US economy is vital to world peace.
Unlike Mexicans, Americans wont abandon their country in its time of need. Its called loyality
If the USA economy goes down, there will be no jobs to go to. Self-survival skills will be important. Do you have any?
Yes, there is a chance that our economy may fail, but for a clue look to our behavior during the Great Depression of 1929, did not run away, we stayed and with our government and our people we remained strong
You don't know what it is to be American. We are resilient and determined people of faith and community and with heart and courage and faith we will overcome any obstacle like our pioneering ancestors!
The wimpy wantabe handout socialist dependent class will die off or get shot trying to rip everyone else off and we'll rebuild American to her greatness status once again.
If the US economy fell and therefore other countries no longer had American corporations exploiting them, the third world might actually get a chance to become rich. But the U.S. economy probably will not fail in our life time.
Its the ignorant little minds that think the US is the backbone of the world. Africa remains to this date the safest, most fertile, richest unpolluted place to run to. Millions are already establishing settlements there and the picture will be different in a few years.
i wouldnt RUN somewhere. i would try to make the country better again...i wouldnt just leave. i dont deny it: the economy could fail. but who says i have to migrate somewhere else?? if we all worked together we could make it better again. after all, do you honestly think it would solve the problem if people left??
I am trying to immigrate to the UK.
If I had to, Canada, probably, if I could do it legally.
However, I agree with the posts above that I would stick it out, likely.
When our economy went in the dumpster during the great depression, Americans didn't run anywhere. We took care of each other, and we made great leaders of otherwise normal men. Also, during the great depression, we chased millions of illegal migrant Mexicans out of the country. They were taking jobs that Americans would do !!!
You underestimate American fortitude. We are a nation of people who love entrepreneurial escapades. For every business that goes oversees or shuts down, there are 3 more waiting in the shadows for an opportunity. I'm not saying our economy is fail-safe -- it obviously is not. But there are many of us who would do everything we can to keep this nation going.
