What a series of events. Firemen put water on a small fire, which then reacts with calcium carbide to make acetylene, which explodes, setting off ammonium nitrate which then scatters cyanide.
I originally likened it to Obama's Middle East foreign policy, but it could apply just as well to the Obama-China economic dance of doom.

They’re going to beat us to revolution that both countries need!
I remember all the doomsayers from the 1980s telling us how Japan was going to conquer the world economically; it was the wave of the future, yadda yadda. Then the bubble burst, and it never really reflated. Now the doomsayers are saying the same thing about China. Stay tuned for a loud pop when that bubble bursts. Parasitic economies that rely on outside exports for their survival run a good sprint, but don’t do well in marathons.

What economic model?
Building humongous ghost cities for millions of people on spec?
That’s some real smart ‘economic model’ right there.
I don’t know why we didn’t think of it first.

Many of us in America don’t like our de facto one party rule here either.
Yes.
They want to replace it with the highly successful American model.
Two-party rule, where both parties agree on everything.
