Indeed. The whole American economy is based on borrowing Chinese money
to buy Chinese manufactured goods. Thank god for our wonderful
relationship with a communist country. All the Korean war vets should
be proud.

As long as the stock market is happy with the fed's interest rate cuts
and Joe Schmoo gets his rebate check to buy plastic Chinese crap at
Walmart, EVERYTHING'S GOLDEN! And now everyone who bought overinflated
houses with borrowed  Chinese money can get out of their bad decisions
with no consequences. Yippee!

All this makes so much more sense than an actual economy based on
manufacturing goods to sell to your own people, and keeping the money
in the country. Oh - and keeping your military troops in your own
country on the border.
