This is bad, the Chinese Visa card is starting to complain.

Once the dollars value tanks, I just hope they don't start eyeing Alaska...I'm sure they plan on getting there money somehow.

Obama better be carefull, GW ran up the card pretty good, but O's trying to melt the magnetic strip right off.

Maybe we can get an Indian Mastercard next after we lose the Visa?

Trust me.........you would rather have the Chinese as lenders than bloodsucker Indians, in their case it would be more than a pound of flesh.

We are the most inefficient nation on earth by a large margin, except for a few far north countries, such as Canada and Finland.

Efficiency wins out in the marketplace.

We should sell them as much debt as we can, then print dollars like the Weimar Republic and pay them in worthless currency...

Once we pay off the debt, we can replace the dollar with the "Amero"

We do some thing well if you don't look at the full picture, it's true.

As for inefficiency, we use about twice as much energy per capita as France and Japan and half again as much as Germany, 3 nations clearly among the top 10 or 20 industrial powerhouses of the world. Whoops make that top 10. Japan - 2nd in GDP, Germany 3rd, France 6th. We could get by on way less and still be prosperous. Oh yeah, our nation is bigger, etc. we're the bread basket of the world, and so on. Actually we are now a net importer of food.

We use groundwater way faster than it is restored. We get further and further out on a limb, relying on various methods that cannot be sustained.

They build bridges, too? The most recent successful invasion by the people in Asia of the continent of North America required one hell of a bridge.

The most recent successful invasion by the people in Europe of the continent of North America took place without bridges.

I for one will continue to lose sleep over Chinese investment worries.
