(added 2 trillion to national debt to chinese and japanese)

And this is relevant how?

[ReadTheFinePrint]

It's relevant who holds our debt because these countries control to some extent our trade policy and our national security policy...

could we ever get tough with the chinese over Taiwan (a free democracy ) or trying to make the playing field more level so so many americans don't lose their jobs??

I think not...WHO owns the debt does matter...
