Next to default: the USA, because all of the "Tea Party" idiots that were elected to this congress are foolish idealogues.
I went to the library to check out a few documentaries about the American economic crisis at the local library and decided to get one sponsored by Citizens United. The title of the DVD:
Generation Zero. I turned it off after the first hour because of the more-than ideologically charged connections throughout the 20th century. Mainly, they used the 60's revolution (if you can call it that) as a significant cause of the financial crisis because ex-hippies, leftists, and, well, blacks, who abandoned the depression-era deregulation ethics of their parents, are now yuppies that are still trying to bring down the establishment through regulatory government intrusion on the private sector. The film never took into consideration other factors that caused the economic meltdown like Reagan's deregulation of Great Depression-era safeguards to our economy which would have kept financial institutions in check, NAFTA, import-export imbalance, corporate flight to foreign lands with cheaper labor, and unnecessary market risks in agricultural futures. The think tanks the filmmakers hired to give thoughtful inquiry seemed to propose the concept of the little man pursuing the American Dream through deregulation of the private sector. Well, if everything were as two-dimensional as an Ayn Rand novel, perhaps any ambitious everyman could rise to the top. But the issue isn't with the little man, but is instead about the corporate giants using deregulation to push their way to the top in order to dominate the markets.
The film was nothing but politically charged chicanery aimed at the left in an on-going left-right mudslinging tirade that seems to never stop to address the problems within our economy.
This film was an overzealous attempt of the Tea Party ideology to try explaining its logic above the mob-like jeering and shouting it is used to doing.
