Sam Seder talking about the national debt...
Made me realize something.

This today from the CEO of Time Warner:

"Based on his observations, he predicted that China will be the dominant economy in the world in 20-25 years. "Fifty years out, India might supersede it. The two big Asian tigers are coming on," he told his audience."

Who is buying all those bonds? China? Why? When they mature, they get more than they paid for them.

What does that mean? The future of this country is being sold, right now, to cash up the people who are moving industry to China and India.

This is Sedition, as defined.

Why is this not spoken to, by our Democratic leaders?

1. my instincts which are sometimes on target
tell me that the Chinese have a much more sophisticated long term strategy to replace us as the next superpower.

They are holding 40% of our T bills and sitting back and passing the popcorn when it comes to North Korea.

I'm afraid that we've been duped and out foxed and no one's paying attention or even has a clue. Oh well.

hey did you hear about the runaway bride??? Arghhhhhhhhhh.

2. China?
Yeah, they've only been at the geopolitical game for thousands of years. The US has been a global power for what? Sixty? This is like waking-up in the morning to them.

3. Not spoken of by the Democratic "leaders" because
Edited on Thu May-19-05 07:08 PM by ikojo
they are in the party of the president that supported China's entry into the WTO. They are beholden to the same corporations that see China as an emerging consumer powerhouse and a source of cheap labor.

They also don't say anything because they assume working class Americans will vote for anyone with a 'D' after their name because every two to four years we are told "this election is too important to risk on a third party candidate." People vote 'D' and still are sold down the river by candidates who turn tail and run after the election.

When will voters stop allowing themselves to be abused in this way?

4. I am involved in Dem Party politics.
Albeit in a rather peripheral manner, as a webmaster. That said, they do listen to me. I shall be speaking to this in the days ahead. To them.
