I don't know if the world's economy would suffer as badly or near as long as our.
That was the purpose of the European Union, to get away from effects of the US economy.
Face it the only thing we export is debt, BILLIONS in aid to Isreal and the UN and jobs right now. There maybe some economic turmoil overseas because we won't be buying imports as fast, however, we won't be much of a factor in things like cars either. We as a country will be selling everything over to foreign countries that hold our government and personal debt. And these great tax cuts "Bush gave everyone", will be reversed and you think taxes are high now?
I think if we are forced to keep paying for this war and the subsequent fronts we'll be going into (Iran, Syria, N. Korea) we are doomed financially and as long as we have a cowboy that wants to do everything his way and fuck the rest of the world, noone will help. If anything the allies we have through political pressure will drop fast once their economies and their power start to suffer.
And I don't think the people will stand Bush cutting more social programs like education and healthcare. If he does he'll lose Congress and then I think you'll see another Nixon, the Dems will go after Cheney first and find a way to get him out of office and then Bush.
