Reference the American loan to the UK?
but we when we couldnt do it ourselves we paid our way, we are British and dont accept handouts....instead of knocking our country be proud of our PRIDE
Answers:
You are right - the UK paid back all loans decades ago.
America actually did very well out of WW2. In something called the Bretton Woods agreement, the US dollar became the world’s reserve currency, taking over from the UK. This gave the US huge trading power
Under George W Bush, America has seen its trade deficit go to an unprecedented high, with international debt rising to levels that will take generations to repay.
The UK actually lends billions to America now and is second only to China in lending to the US. So it's America that now owes Britain large sums.
What'cha talkin' about Willis?
I don't know what your talking about either. Please explain.
I suspect that the support the USA is given now is based upon the finance they pumped in after the end of WWII. That would be wrong but why else do we act as lap dogs for them? They helped re-build large parts of Europe after the War as they had plenty of cash, this could be because they didn't spend that much on the War effort as they weren't involved for that long.
England and America both stand for freedom. It was England holding out at great cost against Germany that gave the US the time it needed to gear up for war once we were involved. England was only country that paid back the loans the US gave to rebuild.
IT is a shame that England and the US are not the countries they were 50 years ago with the same resolve to fight injustice and oppression. The world could use another Churchill. Keep a stiff upper lip.
I too am proud of your country and the headway you have made out of debt...I just wish our bullheaded country would try and learn the same lessons! How in the heck can you go from a surplus to a deficit in such a short period of time? What is even worse, how come people get shot down in the country for even bringing it up? Oh I am American if you could not already tell...LOL I say good on you!
Funny isn't it we pay for all the wars, even the ones started by the Yanks. Maybe we should be charging Washington for our help at this time. I don't remember Afghanistan or Iraq invading anyone recently, of course Kewait was invaded but instead of running to bagdad the Yanks as usual fouled the whole thing up.
Where is the question. we paid our way because we had aranged a loan and under international law and morale obligation we paid it back.
Do you have a point?
i would like to correct "USA ALL THE WAY" when he says that England was holding out against Germany. It was BRITAIN that was holding out, not just England.
