Jim Rogers : America has quadrupled its Debt

Jim Rogers: "The federal government has been spending staggering amounts of money in the last three years. The people who got that money, of course, are better off. They're very happy; they've got a lot more money in their pockets." "Overall, the situation is getting worse; it's deteriorating. America has quadrupled its debt to do this, so overall debt is much, much worse." - in benzinga

Jim Rogers : when people fail, they fail


Oilprice.com: You mentioned that with Spain and Greece we should just let them go bankrupt - what do you really see the implications of this being. Will it be as bad as we have been led to believe?
Jim Rogers: Might be worse. The good news is we'll get their problems behind us. The way the system is supposed to work is when people fail, they fail. Then you come in, you reorganize. Competent people come in, reorganize, and start over with a sound base. This has been going on for thousands of years.
It's a little bit like a forest fire. When you have a forest fire, it's terrible, terrible, but it cleans out the underbrush, cleans out the dead wood. The forest, when it's all over, is much stronger and has much better growth.
Same with financial problems and bankruptcies. You start over and things are better. - in Oil Price

Jim Rogers : Id rather Invest in China than in other places


Oilprice.com: You've mentioned previously that the 21st century belongs to China. But China has some serious internal problems as its political stability depends heavily on rapid economic growth. We are also seeing increasing tensions between the wealthy coastal regions and the poor interior. My question is do you think the internal forces building up in China can be managed as China is held together by money not ideology?
Jim Rogers : What you just said about China's true of every country in the world, more so in places like America and Europe than in China. China does have internal problems. But their economy's much stronger than the western economies. You had riots in the streets in the U.K., what, last summer. Terrible instability, and there's going to be much more in the west. Greece, Spain, Portugal, these countries have staggering instability.
In America in the 1930s we certainly had all sorts of political problems and yet survived, partly because America was a very large credit nation and had the assets to see us through.
America came out of that and became the most successful country in the 20th century. China's going to have plenty of problems. Plenty. I'd still rather invest in China than in other places. - in Oilprice
