China's government seems to take China's best interest to heart. Can't blame them for that.

Our own government has taken the cue, and also takes China's best interest to heart.

However this works out, I have faith that our own polititions will do nothing to safeguard the American economy, but millions of us will lose our shirts and be left holding the bag.

It is interesting, because we owe China a lot more money than they have tied up in Cypress. I suppose we could start taking classes in Mandarin or Cantonese so that when our turn comes for protection and stability, we can make these fine folks feel more at home.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a choice how the tax dollars you send in are used? I'd be more than willing to put the dollars currently going into the black budget to spy on me used to pay down debt.
