“To the contrary, we believe the United States and China benefit from, and contribute to, each other’s successes.”

Yes, Cankleopolus, you "believe" that. You act as though both the United States and China are reading from the same page. And though it's true that recent events in Congress have shown that Obama and the Democrats want to be socialist dictators, it doesn't follow that another communist dictatorship will welcome you with open arms as other than a useful fool. If success for the United States is to live in a state of liberty and to welcome other nations into such a state, then why would totalitarian countries want to "contribute" to that success? You say you "believe," but what do the Chinese believe about their position in the world? What do the Communists believe about their position in history? And, finally, what do the Chinese Communists believe about their position in world history? It isn't something that includes the United States in a preeminent role.

We hate you guys. Once you start issuing $1 trillion-$2 trillion [$1,000bn-$2,000bn] …we know the dollar is going to depreciate, so we hate you guys but there is nothing much we can do.
