Barack Hussein Obama has made America more vulnerable than ever. His spending binge is in part financed by Chinese capital. Don’t fool yourselves about how dangerous it is. China, which was Maoist, has morphed into a Nationalist Fascist 3rd Way regime. Their goal is to re-establish Chinese domination of Asia. Personally, I couldn’t care less about Taiwan, but the fact that Chinese generals want their government to retaliate against US for arm sales is a worrying sign.
BEIJING (Reuters) – Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms sales to Taiwan.
The calls for broad retaliation over the planned U.S. weapons sales to the disputed island came from officers at China’s National Defence University and Academy of Military Sciences, interviewed by Outlook Weekly, a Chinese-language magazine published by the official Xinhua news agency.
The interviews with Major Generals Zhu Chenghu and Luo Yuan and Senior Colonel Ke Chunqiao appeared in the issue published on Monday.
Read the rest: China PLA officers urge economic punch against U.S.
A decade ago this would have been laughed at. However, this is very serious thanks to the bi-partisan irresponsible spending policies of the last nine years. Obama blames Bush, but this is akin to someone complaining about credit card debt by maxing out five more cards. For the sake of economic and national security we need a balanced budget. We should not be vulnerable to Chinese blackmailing.

We’ve shown monumental weakness, naivety, and prostituted ourselves.
The bad actors will now revert to form to take advantage.
This is just the beginning.
Frankly, this is a good thing.. Like taking a gross cough syrup to treat your cold.
Every bond sold is that much less of our country owned by the communists/socialists, and like the pain of resetting a broken nose, it is the best for us in the long run if it gets washington (one way or another) to be more fiscially responsible.
Federal government needs to be taken through the Financial Peace seminar. Debt to another nation really isn’t a good thing, no matter what anyone says:

A seemingly grassroots organization that’s mounted an online campaign to counter the tea party movement is actually the front end of an elaborate scheme that funnels funds — including sizable labor union contributions — through the offices of a prominent Democratic party lawyer.
A Web site popped up in January dedicated to preventing the tea party’s “radical” and “dangerous” ideas from “gaining legislative traction,” targeting GOP candidates in Illinois for the firing squad.
“This movement is a fad,” proclaims TheTeaPartyIsOver.org, which was established by the American Public Policy Center (APPC), a D.C.-based campaign shop that few people have ever heard of.
But a close look reveals the APPC’s place in a complex network of money flowing from the mountainous coffers of the country’s biggest labor unions into political slush funds for Democratic activists.
Here’s how it works: What appears like a local groundswell is in fact the creation of two men — Craig Varoga and George Rakis, Democratic Party strategists who have set up a number of so-called 527 groups, the non-profit election organizations that hammer on contentious issues (think Swift Boats, for example).
These are the bastards we have to defeat to get the debt down. Them and their lackey in the White House

I had some real scares over the weekend. Power never went out for more than a few minutes but the thought that it could go out was very real. Especially when I went out and saw how many trees came down. One was fallen over a car and it’s branches were tangled in the power line. Then I heard the news that ten of thousands of people have been without power since Friday and it just made me very grateful that I had mine.

I can’t stand most t.v. Prime example: I came home last night from work and turn the tube on. My brother had been visiting and left the channel on MTV. It was some show about a highschool activist wanting to expose the “horrors and cruelty” of hunting. So she has her camera and goes to Texas. They apparently find some 20ish Texan (whom I suspect is not a Texan, his accent was waaaaaayyyy off) to take them out hunting. They are riding around in the back of a truck and spot a whitetail in a pasture. They then stop the truck and start to chase after it with a rifle. Stupid doesn’t even begin to describe what I saw.
No snow today, but it is butt cold.
More snow possibly thursday.

But I wanna play in the snow!!! It has been years since I did anything like that. lol Yeah the power outage sucked out loud.

Late again, oh well.
Think about it for a moment: who will buy these bonds? Nobody will want to buy US debt for a multitude of reasons. If nobody wants to buy them, China can’t sell them. If China can’t sell them, they’re worthless. China has bet its entire economy on buying US debt and hoping that the US will never have another recession, that the US was “too big the fail”. Nothing, nothing is too big to fail, and China will find that out pretty soon. It’ll be sat holding piles of worthless paper, pining for the days when it could dictate to the world because of it’s alleged spending power.
The thing is, China is run by socialists with an entitlement complex. They believe the world owes them everything it has and they’ve gladly taken it when things were easy, without really bothering to actually build up a domestic economy. Now their own economy is in the crapper, built entirely around foreign demand that simply isn’t there any more. They’ve run out of other people’s money. They’re an investor that put everything into a “sure bet” like a day trader thinking he could make a few bucks on Enron the day before it fell over and now they’re left holding bonds that in all likelihood they cannot sell.
And if you can’t sell something, it isn’t worth a damn penny. That’s basic market principles which, in spite of appearances of economic transformation, is something the Chinese leadership never really grasped.
