Remember, investing is always a question about relative rather than absolute strengths and weaknesses. The argument in favor of the US is that at least we know what's wrong with the US economy, and we shouldn't lose sight of what we don't know about the rest of the world.
Side: USA
That's a great point. In tumultuous times such as these we need to remember that the US, for all it's flaws, still has the most sophisticated and market driven economic infrastructure in the world. The mechanisms that the Fed can leverage to stave off recession are far more sophisticated than that of other countries. Of course, this goes back to the old risk vs. return argument. The US will likely generate lower returns than some of the other very high growth economies (think India, China, Brazil), but those come with a much greater risk tolerance than the good ole US of A.

A. Hindsight is 20/20 and often the counterintuitive move may be the right one. Consider the US economic outlook has been bad, the US economy has slown, but will most likely improve sometime right? So if we're investing for any significant amount of time (beyond 2-3 years) we should benefit from getting in at a low point, but psychologically we shy away because things are bad. Then in a few years we wish we had invested earlier and gotten at a lower point.. B. The US can even be a decent place to invest now because more US large caps are going global and increasing their overseas market share. Consider a company like CAT who historically depended on the domestic economy and home building for its equipment sales revenues. They have weathered pretty well because their increased global exposure has offset the slump in domestic sales caused by the housing fiasco and the weaker economy. This is sort of an argument for investing in non US economies, but it is also notable that you can get global exposure in US based companies if you look. There are others. Mix it up? Side: USA
I assume this debate is about where you should invest your money, right? If so, by USA do you mean US currency? The dollar is basically the equivalent in stock in the US economy. If that is the case, then you would be crazy to invest in US currency (unless your are shorting it).
Side: USA
I think our government is continuing to make decisions that are going to have a significantly negative impact on our standing in the world. But we still have one thing going for us: Extreme political stability. No matter how stupid our government looks, or how ineffective, it is those checks and balances that continue to motivate the rest of the world to invest in our financial markets.

We have no energy policy. We won't drill for oil in the Artic. We won't build windmills in New Hampshire because they would ruin the view from some billionaire's mansion. With all these major things to consider, all we care about is whether a presidential candidate is pro life or pro choice, or whether Obama actually knows that incendiary pasteur... Our country is, for the most part, a bunch of religiously zealous morons(those reading this debate excluded of course!), and our free market will eventually reflect that by showing higher growth levels in other areas of the world.

I think a lot of the growth opportunities exist outside of the US right now. With the monetary policy the Fed has put in place and with the market saturation outside of the US being so much lower than it is domestically I think that the next 3-5 years will really be a great opportunity to make a lot of money outside of the US.

Considering the current financial climate, diversifying your investments is a prudent strategy. In uncertain times, gold and precious metals have historically shown stability and potential for growth. Personally, I've found investing in gold to be a reliable option during market fluctuations. It acts as a hedge against economic uncertainty and often holds its value well. If you're considering a reliable investment, exploring precious metals might be a wise move.
