“If you look at the U.S., you look at who we’re electing to Congress, to the Senate—they can’t read,” he said. “I’ll bet you a bunch of these people don’t have passports. We’re about to start a trade war with China if we’re not careful here,” he warned, “only because nobody knows where China is. Nobody knows what China is.”

Keep it up, Bloomberg. You'll find you don't have a foot in either canoe.

Elitist twerps like Nanny Bloomberg give elitism a bad name. Our now-former Congressman may have known how to read, but they chose not to. They passed legislation without even bothering to find out what they were passing. They spent Trillions of Dollars without bothering to ask what it was for.

If that is an example of sophisticated thinking, give me more bumpkins!

And as for starting a trade war with China... China has been engaged in a trade war against the US for a decade, and we haven't been responding. Yes, Nanny Bloomberg, when a country takes their taxpayer dollars to subsidize exports to undercut our productive sector, we sure as Hell should have a problem with that. Just because we can buy plastic crap cheap doesn't mean China's predatory trade policy has been good for the United States.

I have no doubt, however, that Mike Bloomberg has profited handsomely...

What the heck is C40 Cities? We've got G this and G that (G8, G20) and now C numbers?

Regardless of what it is, or was, or was at the beginning, you can be certain that it will soon be yet another useless, busybody NGO dominated by leftist retards who will use their positions to denounce the United States and opine endlessly about how stupid, racist and arrogant Americans all are.

If it is not that already.

Mayor Bloomberg: ‘The People We’re Electing to Senate Don’t Know Where China Is’

"Let me get this straight: [China] is taking their taxpayers' dollars, trying to sell subsidized things so we can buy them cheaper and have better products, and we're going to criticize that? If you look at who we're electing to Congress and Senate — they can't read. I'll bet you a bunch of these people don’t have passports. We're about to start a trade war with China if we're not careful here, only because nobody knows where China is. Nobody knows what China is." —68-year-old Independent Mayor Bloomberg,

Yep, Tea Party voters are just a bunch of hicks, crackers and rubes according to the elite of BOTH parties.
