No, work in a mortgage department, but if you look at the trade in-balance we have with them, plus the fact that they control something like 200 billion of our national debt, they could wreck us with out ever firing a shot.

No they couldn't. They could hurt our economy, but only at the cost of destroying their own.

200 billion out of how many trillion of our debt?

200 billion is what percent of their GDP?

Think it over.
