Sorry mate... It already is destroyed financially. You have no way back from this debt without absolutely massive cuts in spending which will simply make it worse as you need people employed to pay taxes.

The question is not if, but when. By the way I put most western countries in this camp. We used to have a massive war chest of cash which was pretty much pissed away in 2 government terms etc too

USA is our third largest trading partner,behind China and Japan. But the reality is we only have 10% of just China's trade with you. What happens in your economy is only important to us because China buys the materials from us to make shiny crap to sell to you, not because of a direct relationship anymore. Those days are long gone.

PS. We buy 3x more product from you than you buy from us. So we're actually more valuable to you than vice versa.
