    What are they going to do with the gold? Make it into jewelry? Because it offers a pretty crappy yield.

    You give me a laugh-out-loud chuckle at least once a day with posts like this one.

    Why don't we just stop borrowing from the Chinese? That should solve all the problems. Pay down the debt as soon as the economy is some what normal. I cannot believe there were idiots in congress not wanting to pay off debt during the Clinton years. How do we get so many idiots in DC?

    We have no one to blame but ourselves 10 years from now, if we don't stop China now?

    That has to be the most ludicrous thing I have heard for a while. How can someone able to type make an asinine comment like this.

    China is financing US to make and sell stuff to China. What more could US ask? You want to make your creditor and buyer angry? :confused:

    If anything, we should be thanking China everyday for 10 years and hoping 1.3 billion Chinese all drink Coke, eat KFC twice a day, brush teeth with Colgate compulsively, drive Buick to everywhere 10 years from now.

    ur just repeating the rhetorics not having a clue what ur talking about. !

    The US has had a severe cashflow problem ever since W pissed away the huge surplus (less than 6 months after taking office) he had inherited from Clinton.

    The US is cash poor, it needs to borrow billion of $$$ just to keep its operations going; China is the only country that has enough cash to lend to the US.

    simply put, the US borrow $$$ because it needs the cash.

    Japan doesn't have $800 billion of US debt. Their economic power is going off a cliff. Meanwhile, China and the USA will be tied to each other as the top 2 economies in the world. Neither can attack each other, without destroyinig their own economy.

    If nations were this rational, we would never have any wars.

    Sure we would. Many of the wars are fought for our economic interests. Democracy and freedom is just a cover.

    The Repubs were terrified that with the debt paid off the Dems would want to spend tax revenues on national health, building up the social security fund, public education-- government spending that the public would like and get used to.

    Wow...just wow.

    Everything is a right wing conspiracy, and if there were no Republicans the world would be full of cute and fuzzy bunnies. :rolleyes:

    Under your governmental notions, everybody would have exactly the same nothing as everybody else.
