He’s waiting to see what happens tomorrow. They’re, WH and press, are hoping it’s not that bad. But they’re making sure everyone knows it’s the Tea Party’s fault if it is bad.

China wanted us to be in debt with us, because they are loan sharks. THey do not want us to pay the loan back, they want us to be at their mercy and be on a guilt trip.
That being said, we are completely irresponsible, and, worse, watch Congress tell us to save the way the Chinese want us to: cut defense spending

Can we start the trade war yet? I think our government spending more than it takes in is the problem.

Our government would be taking in enough to cover spending if we had more people working.
We would have more people working, if we weren’t sending jobs elsewhere.
It’s not complicated.

I think it is going to be a rough day tomorrow. The same old stupid 0bama speech is going to sound even more hollow tomorrow than all the others combined.

I’ve never thought much about it. But declaring a Jubilee would do wonders as a world reset now wouldn’t it?

Well yes ok.
It’s not too complicated for a 5th grader then.
Though you have a point. :D

We would have more people working, if we weren’t sending jobs elsewhere. Those jobs do not belong to us. They belong to the companies that create them. If those countries are taxed and Union infested to the point where it's not worth staying in this country - can you blame them?
China, Mexico, India, Italy, Peru, Chile did not come here and take those jobs away from us. They are obviously more business friendly than the United States.
You can have your trade war but it will not fix the problem that caused the downgrade.

Tax a company to death and they'll either go out of business or go elsewhere to survive. Happens everytime.
Requiring China to Tax Tax Tax and allow Unions so that the consumer can pay more for the products they buy is not the answer.
The problem is here in the USA not in all those other countries where American companies now call home.

Darn and here I thought I had found common ground with you, so we could stop arguing momentarily. :)

I can and I do. Yes. I blame "American" companies which sell our nation out. Yes I blame them. Heck yes.

Washington DC has sold the American company out and as long as this is not yet Cuba, they are free to move elsewhere.
They are American companies only for as long as they are in the United States and welcomed here. They are not part of the US Government... yet.

I am not part of the US government, but my loyalty is to America.
Period.
