IMF managing director Christine Lagarde says failure to raise the US debt ceiling would be a far worse threat to the global economy than the current shutdown.

Yup, it is, but life goes on...

You don't have to live in the United States nor listen to a clown in San Franciso to make you feel American.

What a shock that the Americans and the other Anglos have gone MIA in this news article and to what I have so brutally but honestly laid out above.

Not a bad attitude to have. Realist but also pragmatist. Respect to you.

The federal government does not run the country morons. Suck mommas tits for some milk juice tobi. If you knew anything about the USA you would know it's a union of 50 independent states that operate regardless of the feds.
Your post in number one is a joke of nothing from someone that only knows the shit storms in the pile of nothing in Mendoza.
I can call the shit there I've been to Argentina often and recently as January and February. When have you unlatched you mothers nipples and been to the USA? North Amerrica? Europe? Buenos Aires? OUTSIDE OF MENDOZA?
Leave her nipples rest and get off the tit juice....grow up. All you southies are like ants crawling on ankles........When you see what you cannot be........you have to loath it.
Now that Brazil is totally froze, industrially speaking, SA is doomed economically.
Yes....the Fed is closed, but the states do not depend on the feds like down there. Whats idiots. Have some mate, if you can tolerate it.
