Economic

The U.S. economy is one of the most diversified national economies of the world and kept the leadership in the world economy in the last 100 years. However, since the beginning of 2000-ies in consequence of crises and growth in developing countries, its influence in the world economy is not much decreased. The country's GDP in 2010 amounted to $14,72 trillion, and in 2011 is expected to increase about 2%. U.S. government debt to residents and foreign States, by 2011, equal to U.S. $14.1 trillion. Globalization and new information technologies have led to the restructuring of the U.S. economy. Globalization has opened new markets for American goods and services stimulated the production oriented to the foreign market. The global market has been allowed to become American companies competitive, increased product quality, reduced costs and prices. Trade barriers have largely remained in the past, foreign companies have gained access to the American market, their activity is of benefit to the American economy. Cheap goods and cheap labor becomes more widely accessible. Global supply increases due to an increase in global demand, and a significant contribution to these processes makes the biggest economy in the world - the U.S. economy. In January this year, the U.S. Treasury reported that the U.S. national debt has reached a historical maximum of 14 trillion dollars. According to forecasts, by 2015 it will reach approximately 19.6 trillion dollars. The U.S. government may not spend more than the upper limit of the total amount of your possible debt, which is set by Congress at the present time the ceiling is 14.3 trillion dollars. But this does not preclude senators to pass laws that increase government spending and reduce taxation that implicitly, but leads to the fact that the Federal government gets deeper into debt. The government has already raised the question about the increase of this bar, but politicians failed to agree. This inability to negotiate an extremely negative impact on the economic situation in the country and the image of the politicians and the US in the eyes of global investors. So, S&P has already downgraded the country's rating, warning that will deprive America of the highest rating, if its policies will not be able to solve the problem of debt.

During all this time there were periodic wars with the Indians. In the end, they were divided and moved to Indian reservations (at that time there are only about 200 000), which still exist.
