Hillery says US should control foreign debt ownership
CNBC ^ | 3-1-2007 | chuckles

Posted on 03/01/2007 1:15:16 PM PST by chuckles

Well, Hillery wanted to jab Bush for the 500 point fall in the market so she issued a statement to get some face time on TV. We haven't heard one good word in the 5 year run up to record levels in the market, but let it fall 3.5% from it's all time, no doubt about it, never before seen, record high, and it must be Bush's fault.

To cut to the chase, she thinks the US should limit how much debt can be owned by foreign governments. I was going to let it slide as just a pollitcal jab attempt, but it was just too stupid by half to let slide. After her remark a week or so ago about "Taking oil profits" and using them for research in alternative fuels, I had to lie down to keep from having a , Hugo Chavez "hissy", I just couldn't let this one pass.

If we put some kind of limit on foreign governments buying our paper, that means Joe Sixpack will have to fork over the money to finance the War, the highways to nowhere, perscription drugs, and any other craphole the congress decides we need to stuff with money. I for one am glad free capitalist countries can borrow money in Yen at 1%, and loan it to us for 4-5%. If I had to buy the paper, the rate would go up to "Jimmy Carter" levels around 20%.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but this woman is scary! She can't be that dumb. With Greenspan just mentioning a reccession is POSSIBLE, not probable, the market tanked. Surly Hillery doesn't think what she says will just slide by the markets, both foreign and domestic. If she remains the odds on favorite and it gets closer to the election, these statements will put a chill in all world economies. Wall street is sending money to the Democrats. I hope they listen to what these wacko's are really saying they believe. The sooner the discusions are vetted about what these idiots would do to our country, the sooner we can regain the congress and the presidency in 2009. I think the people will get over their 2006 tantrum when it costs them jobs and money.

Everytime this über-idiot opens her piehole she lets the thinking half of this country's population know exactly what an unabashed f'n moron she really is.

Hey Hilery, why don't ya do one of them famous trades that netted you $100,000 in just one day, when you were in the White House?
That may be just what the Dr. ordered for the markets.

Will she credit Bush when the robust economy he's created produces a budget surplus in another year or so?

That's ridiculous. Why is she trying to protect foreign governments? She has no clue.

Mrs. Willian Jefferson Clinton forgot for six years to report taxes on the Clinton Family Fund or what ever the tax ruse is called. Then had her people say it was just an over sight. How easily she lies....and don't you just love the "Lets, chat, lets, talk, lets have a dialogue". All of that on her web page and in videos. Pray tell me how you have a "chat" with a computer screen?

(dumb, dumb, and dumber!)

Well, I'm so used to spelling it "Hitlery" or Hildabeast", I goofed up when typing while throwing things. As far as "Vanity", aren't we all? I linked to the story, doesn't that count.

I wonder if spellnazi's even bothered to ponder the point? This woman could be president, and she wants to shut off the money we are using to finance our debt. When interest rates are 20% and unemployment is 15%, how I spelled her name won't seem to be that big of an issue, I'll wager.

I even use Hitlery in conversation. And Hitlery is a polite term for the witch.

....."Can I maybe borrow a few bucks???".....Sure you can, that's the point of the story. You can go to Japan and get all you want, under 2%. Pretty good deal if you ask me. She wants to cut that off and she will be borrowing from you, and your job, and your children, etc. Couple of trillion ought to cover it.

If you didn't live through Carter, then you have no idea how bad, "BAD", is.

When foreign nations no longer value our fiat money, we will surely fall fast. They've propped up our economy for a long time now.
