We can all go back to CopenHOGgen together where the ChiComs can recycle our monopoly money into paper kites and we’ll recycle their potmetal and plastics into mobile homes.

“We got their crappy stuff and they got our crappy money, who got the better deal?”

We did. I’d rather have shelter than something to fly.

I see a new reserve currency, a 15 to 20 percent fall in US standard of living.

So far I see no pitchofrks. ( I wish.)

America still thinks this can be solved at the ballat box,

I am beginning to have my doubts about that.

....or when they discover their beloved granny dying as she lays motionless on a gurney in an unheated warehouse.

But Nebraskans’ first knee-jerk reaction will be positive, I think. They’ll feel real special for having dodged a real big speeding bullet. The down side for Reid, though, is the extent to which his deal with Nelson will highlight each state’s steep costs associated with the bill. idiots who hadn’t considered that before now will do so.

23% according to: http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt

(684.1/2979.7 = 23%)

Yeah, and there’s a lot of land in Africa. They have no money to pay taxes but they sure got a lot of natural resources! ;)

If their economy fails then the rulers will have to turn their army on the citizens. A few million pissed of peasants can do much.......

I'm confused. Are you talking about the Chinese or American peasants?

Kinda makes me wonder if the SNL skit might have actually been based on actual footage. ;)

"I’ve never been in a Walcrap."

Everyone is talking about unemployment but the answer is in every store you shop in. Look at where the products are made. People are working there. We have to make more of what we consume. It's the way back to restore the employment we once had.

Right you are, it is unsustainable. The whole system is about to collapse. Passing socialized health rationing is going to choke us....

We must hold the 525 representatives plus the President PERSONALLY accountable for the destruction of the United States of America.

Is that what happened? I kind of wondered. If that’s the case, then Jiabao should read the riot act to Obama more often. Obama is like a screaming brat who demands more cookies when there’s nothing left in the cookie jar. I’ve never seen anything like it.

I was actually talking about China. The ruling powers need to keep the people employed lest they revolt.

In this country it could happen when the people find that their government takes too much of their money to pay for other people, some long since dead.

“China: The World Does Not Have Money to Buy More US Treasuries”


What?? How could they say such a thing?? Why, we’re about to pass a health care bill and we need more room for the additional debt. How... (sniff)... could the Chinese let us down?

“They already own America. Our economy, our country goes down the tubes without China.”

I’m surprised they haven’t moved against Taiwan. The only deterrent they have — the U.S. — is pretty harmless these days, so they could do it uncontested.

the movement from foreign treasuries to domestic holding could be quite ugly.
Higher rates,maybe sooner than expected.

And he will have accomplished the one liberal goal they all agree too:

It is America’s fault. The resulting poverty, depression, and wars, yes wars, will be America’s fault.

Think long and hard about that idea before jotting off a flame to me.
