What I wonder about is how smart people like the Chinese imagine that we are going to repay the humongous amounts of money that our politicians of BOTH parties are borrowing to prop up the welfare state. If we won't raise taxes (as we should not) to pay for the welfare state that we clearly cannot afford, what makes Comrade Chicom think we are going to raise taxes (as we should not) to repay these "loans?"

Will we be presented with an impossible choice between honestly paying our debts and maintaining the military defense of our country? Once the Chicoms are onto the fact that we are not paying them back and they have nothing more to gain by funding the heroin habit of our "painless" welfare state and they cut off the fiscal heroin, will the result be actual revolution here and WHAT will result?

Wise man. Wasn’t it said we would be destroyed from within. I guess I am glad I am old and won’t live in any America TOTALLY destroyed by greed, apathy and laziness. We took pray out of schools, killed our unborn, paid people not to work, tolerated America being bad mouthed to our youth and wonder what happened. May God forgive us!
