No argument here.

My point was that eleison's title was trollified.

What will they do when the apology tour fails?

Why didn't he pull his pants down and show them his big American penis? That would have shut them right up.

My guess is keep bending over and buy overpriced treasuries because the Russian/Chinese push for a global currency will fail. . I mean, it's their fucking fault for playing currency peg games and exacerbating the huge trade deficits. We knew this would eventually happen.

As opposed to getting shoes thrown at us?

I don't mind that Bush got a shoe thrown at him. Its just the thought that the Chinese are laughing at our "finance guy". Any minute now, I fully expect the Chinese to say, "You stupid americans. You spend too much on stupid wars. YOu money worth nothing. We now can only use it to wipe our butts. You go home now!!"..

Fixed it.

Stupid social program spending>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stupid war spending

Yeah, but the stupid war spending is still going on.

Isn't it funny how Democrats are starting to sound a whole lot like Republicans did a couple years ago?

To whom does China export $350 billion dollars of goods each year?

Whose currency is the undisputed basis for exchange around the World?

In the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, which country's GDP is still four times greater than the other country?

I find it ludicrous that the bonehead Cons in this thread are choosing Communist China over the greatest capital market in the World for partisan political purposes.

What do you say about that, Troll?

You're talking like the status quo is unlikely to change. Kinda reminds me of all the fools who back in 2005-2006 happily kept their heads in the sand and denied that we might be heading for an economic meltdown.

I don't think we've seen the worst of it yet. When the value of the dollar declines, inflation skyrockets and our debt becomes a bottomless pit, things are likely to turn from bad to worse.

Thank you Obama.


The only thing louder than the sound of the printing press is the sound of laughter.

I'm laughing at China. We're living high on the hog with our SUVs and big-screen tvs, and they are riding bicycles and eating poison.
The good news for them is we owe them trillions. The bad news is, we're going to pay them back with monopoly money.
