Britain beats out the US as the largest donor to the World Bank?

Question

I just read this article: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20071214/tts-uk-worldbank-donors-britain-d1d4700_3.html

I was just curious if people in the US are aware of the dire financial state their economy is in or are the media outlets too preoccupied with the "War on Terror"?

Answer 1

true the u.s economy is stabilizing but it will increase in the long shot probably 2-4 years. The UK is facing much more danger in the long term. from The EU and higher population of Muslims. There have been lots of report of Arab woman being assaulted by they're husbands. UK is becoming Saudi Arabia of Europe. I think that is more danger than small term economy decrease.

Answer 2

Interesting link. Not sure if it reflects on the US economy though or just on Bushes bloody- mindness. Says alot about born again Christians, doesn't seem very Christian to me.

Answer 3

Britain will takeover the World Bank and the US will lose its influence to exploit the natural resources of poor countries.

Answer 4

interesting that a comparitively tiny country like the UK gives more to the world bank than the richest nation in the world.

I think its just that us british are too generous for our own good.

Answer 5

shocking at the least

I think that the standard of living is probably much lower in Britain. Plus, they're just trying to outdo us
