What happens if a country goes bankrupt
Hey there, guys
Today I thought about something. As you all now, the USA has borrowed a large amount of money from China over the past couple of years, meaning that they have high debts to pay off. I was wondering about what would happen to the USA and any country basically, if they go bankrupt and they still have to pay the money back? ![[Image: IcJnQOT.gif]](http://i.imgur.com/IcJnQOT.gif)

I dunno, what happened to Greece?
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the bread to butter. |

Riots, demand for governing body to piss off, reform demands, suppression.

RE: What happens if a country goes bankrupt
I knew I should have clarified my question. What I meant was, what can China do to get their money back, i.e. is the USA forced to sell their property to them or something?

RE: What happens if a country goes bankrupt
A country can't go bankrupt, just because... If a country has no way to pay for its debt, then it can default its debt, usually leading to renegotiation (interest rates for example) check this article, it's quite complete

RE: What happens if a country goes bankrupt
Iceland.
They went bankrupt. Completely and utterly... but I think they actually call it "financial crisis" when it happens to a whole country. They have been pulling out of it now for what... 4... 5 years? Something like that. They deregulated everything they could - every minute precaution was thrown to the wind - beginning around 2000. Suddenly, they were completely fucked. Here's another pretty good article. Sad.  I always wanted to go there... it looks nice. Björk is a little scary if she hasn't eaten but... all in all, it seems quaint. I dig volcanoes. It's considered a success story of the financial meltdown.... probably because it was practically the first to go down.
There is no shame in not knowing. The problem arises when irrational thought and attendant behavior fill the vacuum left by ignorance. ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson Perception is up for grabs, and truth seems to be the one precious thing, that no one wants anyone to find. |
