A reasoned analysis and telling the truth about how the Democratic
Party has gotten out of touch with middle America and should consider
how to make it better. Yeah, he's going to be in big trouble dealing
with the crooks and liars that make up the Republican Party.
Between crooks, liars and socialists, I'll take crooks and liars.
It'll take longer for them to turn us into a thrid world country.
Bush is trying like hell to get us there via our national debt.
Do you consider it likely that anyone's going to foreclose on the U.S.?
Our debt is moving more and more toward China.  What do you think they
might do?  I certainly wouldn't be willing to count on them to be
humanitarian toward us, that's for certain.
I was mostly just throwing some silliness into the discussion, but now
that you mention the above, what is it you think the Chinese can do?
Any number of things, actually:
1)  Demand technology from us.  If they're smart, that technology will
be weapons-applicable.  This happens very often, and we're no longer
ahead of the game militarily.
Unlikely - because we'd just tell them to bugger off.

And there goes the economy.

2)  Demand actual weapons systems from us.  This happens very often,
and we're no longer ahead of the game militarily.
Unlikely - because we'd just tell them to bugger off.

And there goes the economy.

3)  Make us their puppet as regards international diplomacy.
Unlikely - because we'd just tell them to bugger off.

And there goes the economy.

4)  Essentially refuse to give us any further loans period.  Without
them, our government (including our military) literally crumbles.
Now THIS is a very real possibility (especially assuming that we ask
them to bugger off in response to the first three demands).
But hey, it doesn't matter - we'll just keep spending billions from the
future on this stupid goddamn war in Iraq...

The problem is we wouldn't HAVE those billions from the future.  We
only have them thanks to, in large part, the Chinese.



Two guys walk into a bank .One has $1 million in deposits, the
other has $1 million in loans.....who does the bank take better care
of?
