LAKE SELIGER, Russia (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accused the United States Monday of living beyond its means "like a parasite" on the global economy and said dollar dominance was a threat to the financial markets.

"They are living beyond their means and shifting a part of the weight of their problems to the world economy," Putin told the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi while touring its lakeside summer camp some five hours drive north of Moscow.

"They are living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar," Putin said at the open-air meeting with admiring young Russians in what looked like early campaigning before parliamentary and presidential polls.

We need Putin to run over here.

Discuss.

We need him to join the Teabaggers.

If we slow down consumption we dramatically impact most major world economies. I don't know what our balance of trade is like with the Russians aside from them launching our astronauts for us, but the Saudi's, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Filipinos, etc. would see a dramatic impact.

It is a bit funny getting advice from the Russians on how to effectively run a country.

The world's economy depends on american over-consumption.

I can think of plenty of countries that leech off the United States. Maybe we should become isolationists for a few years and see if the world's economy and security can make do without us.

ps. I'm pretty sure saving the whole world's sorry ass from being ruled by Nazis and helping Europe, Japan, China, and the Middle East rebuild should count for at least a century of sucking our collective dicks (aka. Florida).

Actually, he has it backwards. The world is a drain on our economy.

Amen.

Gotta be one of the most bizarre threads Cappy has started...

...the uber-progressive Cappy?

The U.S. economy has collapsed because the tree-hugger/baby boomers have vilified industry/consumption.

Period.

Wanna see ongoing environmental destruction/contamination?

Go to Eastern Europe/Russia, where industry still makes the rules.

If U.S. leaders followed Putin's advice...

...anti-industry folks like Cappy/Jellydonut/Maojeff would disappear...literally.

USA's just a parasite - where would we be if we couldn't harvest organs from foreign orphans?

That old Commie apparatchik Putin is too busy lining his own pockets to study economic theory.

Very rarely do I agree with the Delaware folk on this board. Even more rarely do I agree with BOTH of those known by their class. This is one of those times.

Putin is a right-wing tea-party terr'ist!

Would a free market have seen us clean up our pollution faster?

The answer you are looking for is "no".

Putin, if injected into the Conk race right now, trounces Romney by 25 percentage points.

Go Vladdie!

Yeah....except his "party" just endorsed Obama for a second term....nice spin attempt though.

Reminds me of the scene from Naked Gun where Frank Drebin says, "I'll have a Black Russian" and the barkeep and another guy just look at each other and shake their heads!
