“Besides, what would China spend that money on anyway? Probably just 400 horribly designed TV buildings.”
it’s okay if want to talk about something you know…. but oblivious you don’t know a thing abou architecture…
So please restrain yourself, talk about politcs and economics if you want, but don’t call ugly buildings that are incredible both in the conception and the technology, read about them before you speak.

I’m sorry but what we believe is if it weren’t for the Western robbers, namely colonists, China will be as powerful as America, if not better.

So-called Western “civilized” countries owe us much.

[...] China should forgive American debt: Josh at Cup of Cha makes the case for debt forgiveness:China needs to look into its heart, and its soul, and forgive American debt. For too long the US has been held hostage to foreign debt collectors, and quite frankly, it’s weighing the country down. At this point it seems petty for China even to ask for its money back. What’s 900 billion dollars among strategic allies? [...]

It doesn’t sound like your satire came through to everyone equally - personally this was a great read.

The greater of probabilities, though, is that the US inflates its way out of its current debt (through more debt?? Direct stealth printing of money?). Especially with brilliant ideas from Bernanke to continue the bailout of the larger banks and investment banks (such as the little publicized idea of lifting the maximum size of a loan sold off to Fannie & Freddie to a cool $ Mil.

But a forgiveness of over $1 trillion would make a nice Christmas present.

interesting ideas,
If our economy dips we may just end up telling them “sorry”. wouldn’t surprise me at all. However, I would like to see our government pay as they go - like everyone should be doing. It’s unfair to enslave your citizens to trillions of dollars of debt. I blame the politicians - they are out of control.

I like the post, but for those of us that stumble on your site with no prior knowledge, detecting the sarcasm is very difficult. Especially because it’s just plain text with nothing to give it away.

My first superlatives in a comment! And I was always curious about how ‘money is supposed to work’
