No country can ever go bankrupt,they just carry on in their mess and devise new terms and eventually people forget about it and are happy to do business with that country again....tecnically bankrupt in the last decade were north korea and the Congo!Now every one is rushing to do business with them!

But a weakening dollar might be better for us as a resource producer. And developing economies/gold is one of the few other remaining destinations for sellers of T-Bills.
