Slowly, America is being turned into a service sector based economy, where a majority of the occupations are preoccupied with servicing products manufactured elsewhere, while the supposed home head quarters of corporations which manufacture items out of the country remain in the home nation. Indeed, and similarly in Canada, one fifth (1/5) of the economy [...]

Upon surfing regular information channels this Saturday, an interesting article came up from a major website that is frequently visited. It seems that the US is officially bankrupt, and even the United States President has admitted it during an interview with C-SPAN.
