  This is one of the direct consequences of the multi-billion bailouts by the 
US government -- their government bonds will be preferred worldwide to the 
debts of weaker countries like Romania or Bulgaria, just to name two. 

  It will already be difficult for minor imperialist countries like France and 
Germany to get the credits they want to give their banks and other 
businesses -- well one buyer of the state debt issued for bailing out the 
banks will be those banks themselves...
