	US economy on verge of collapse, warns LaRouche
		Lyndon H LaRouche, US economist and Democratic Party candidate for the 2004 presidential elections, has warned that the beleaguered United States economy would collapse in the near future due to the irrational fiscal and monetary policies being pursued by the Bush Administration even after the Iraq war and the 9/11 attacks.
		"The US economy is on the verge of collapse due to the parasitical and monetary policies of the war-mongering Bush government.
		The robust US economy began to decline with the emergence of the Bush Administration in early 2001, and any recovery is unlikely due to mounting federal and current account deficits, growing inflation, rising unemployment, and a weak dollar.

	Is the US economy on the Japanese road?
		There is growing concern in leading financial circles and sections of the financial media that whether or not the current downturn in the US economy leads to a recession—defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth—there is something more to the present situation than the “normal” workings of the business cycle.
		The chief problem confronting US financial authorities and policymakers is that the so-called “imbalances” in the economy—the growth of private debt and the balance of payments deficit—were not simply the “bad” side of economic growth, particularly over the past five years, but were essential to it.
		But in the light of the severe crisis now gripping the US economy—whether or not this brings outright recession in the immediate period—there are now the beginnings of a recognition that what took place in Japan may well have been a particular expression of an essentially global process.

	The China Factor and the US Dollar - Mises Institute
		The possibility that the Chinese authorities may lower their holdings of US assets and substitute them for European assets is seen as a major threat to the US dollar and seems to support the view of most experts.
		Now, let us assume that this shift, which is motivated by the growing US current account deficit, runs contrary to the underlying exchange rate, i.e., as set by the relative purchasing power of monies.
		In the US context, the ever-widening current account deficit is the manifestation of the fact that despite the loose monetary policies of the Fed foreigners are still happy to be paid with US dollars.

	The Hindu Business Line : US economy wobble
		The US economy is giving off quite a few negative signals: A huge current account deficit of around 6.3 per cent of GDP; the Fed hiking the benchmark rate; a relatively high level of uneployment; and the low domestic savings rate.
		Yet, if the economy has not slipped into a crisis it is because of the inflows of capital from across world.
		So, in a way, the expansion in the US economy would not have happened if the rest of the world had not lent to it.
