I can post numerous more references if you wish. It is accelerating rapidly there, and is already very bad. Each year from criminal activities in Russia dead approx 40 000 on 140 mln population In USSR 22000 on 280 000 mln population In USA approx 20000 on 290 mln population Your date stated August 2003, there have been more than 245,000 officially diagnosed cases In each case from 300 000 infected would not dead each year 40 000 ####################################### After 1991 male population average life expectance decreased from 66 to 58 ,female equal 74 years .

are you joking? US is bankrupt now And the world just don't need any more dollars. Russia has diversified from dollars, arabs will follow And US will not change fuels, it will change from fuels to no fuels from cars to bicycles if lucky
Never said that AIDS causes more deaths than other things. just stated that it is a contibutor. Also didn't state that homosexuality was the cause. As in most of the inustrialized world, its drug use.
US deficit is 3.3% of GDP. Try looking at several European countries and Japan, which are worse. When not in recession, US has averaged about 2.2% of GDP deficit in recent years. If the US is bankrupt, why does the world keep buying its bonds at such low rates?
About 26 percent of New York City adults have the virus that causes genital herpes and how many people have died from genital herpes since the beginning of time? Zero I believe.
US trade deficit is around 6% GDP which is not sustainable but US too big too fail, you should know although it may change any moment to too big to save
Jayford Never said that AIDS causes more deaths than other things. just stated that it is a contibutor. Also didn't state that homosexuality was the cause. ######################################## Dear Sir Sorry to inform you ,but in most of the case's public presentation of AIDS problem related - To homoseksual socium Problem of CVD (cardiovascular disease ) and cancer was , are and would more heavy In time ,in which exist not grear war 66% of population dead from CVD 33% from cancer (some equal in USA ,Russia ,Germany,France) It is natural dead ############### Decreased average life expectancy by male population from 66 until 58 by equal by female 74 to 74 in Russia after 1991 related solely to political perturbation with different art of stress,which is one of the ground for CVD another important ground -overweight and low physical activities (approx equal in USA,Russia ,Germany ,U.K.) France is different -Eating cultur of Brillat Zavarin Physiologie of the taste have only 11-15 % of population with overweight This problems- CVD and Cancer was ,are and would have incomporable more weight as AIDS in each mentioned countries You can check most famous Biopharm companies AMGN,DNA,IMCL,OSIP -what they develop and where are source's for greatest part of profit . Best wish ...
trade deficits are not an issue of a bankrupt country. Yanks spend like there is no tomorrow is the problem. IF they go bankrupt, that takes care of itself. Obviously doesn't seem to be too much of an issue given the dollar's recent strength, and the great Tbond auction today. Don't get me wrong, I think the US economy is just beginning a serious recession, that will take a long time to work out due to the debt loads, especially consumer debt. I just don't believe the US is anywhere near default (bankrupt), nor will it be in the foreseeable future. Our bonds would be rocketing in yield, and dollar crashing if this was the case. Doesn't matter how big the economy is, the global market would force the issue on currency and yields if they were worried about default. This thread was about Russia I thought? Anyway, lets see where the US is in 5 years vs Russia. I'd put my money on the US.
The US isn't even close to bankrupt. The total debt carried by US private citizens and the government isn't even close to the size of the assets owned by US citizens and the government. The absolute numbers look bad, but like Jayford pointed out with the deficit, if you divide any of these numbers, by GDP or total assets, the US is in great shape compared to most of Europe and Japan. To say a debt is "high" you can't just look at the absolute number, you have to look at how high it is relative to the income available to service it (this is GDP), and how high it is relative to assets that could be sold to pay it off (all of the valuable tangible and intangible assets such as land, factories, intellectual property, infrastructure, natural resources, etc...)
