According to this piece from Argentina’s Argen Press on the U.S. recession (translated by Watching America.com),
The Treasury’s fiscal deficit is the highest in the world, of its own making, and has grown the fastest – not only because of his taxation policies, but also for other reasons such as the imperialist policies in Iraq and Afghanistan and their 737 military bases throughout the whole world. Something similar to this caused the fall of the Roman Empire at the beginning of the second century.
