The problem with Americans is that they think the whole worlds problems are on them as well. I mean when something good happens the old people try to take advantage of it but the so called modern new young leftist people think that when USA does something bad they affect the whole world and think that they owe the world an apology. I am sorry but economical problems have been something for centuries and even before USA was a country.
The empires that raised from nothing and than crumbled out of existence all had gone out because of the economical problems created by sustaining by war and when war was over they had no income to sustain the system they built. USA just having that problem like any other big empire while all of the world still turns around the sun like nothing happened because when a problem happens in X country that doesn't have to be on USA all the time, sometimes you do go to places like Iraq and create problems of course but aside from that any problems in some small country is not because USA did something wrong with some law.
They knew that war saves the economy so they had to start a conflict in Iraq to give their factories something to produce. More gear, more vehicles, more military rations, and after the war blackwater and companies from many fields including construction and transportation stepped in.

Notice how the signs of recession were clearly visible in 2001 and 2002 and the invasion begun in 2003 giving the stock market a small boost for the next 4 years. As the war came to an end so did the adrenaline pumped into the industry by Bush and his team of liars and speculators, but they couldn't care less. It was already his 8th year of presidency. It's all well calculated and the economy is the playground for the rich and powerful. All you can do is refuse to dance to their music.
