What a lousy time to have at the helm of state a totally unknown, clumsy oaf who despises America and its citizens. This communist fool is nothing more than a foreign exchange student who flies to Alaska for a three day sojourn for the singular purpose of renaming a mountain to goad the hapless Republicans.

Two years ago China called for the “de-Americanized” “new world order” that would inevitably sideline the U.S. dollar."

Surprise, surprise! America does need an economic wizard as president and, at this point, it would seem Donald Trump may indeed fill the bill.

I have a hard time reading this stuff because I get confused about the why did it happen in the first place, and what they're doing now doesn't make sense to me .................

So my comment is based on the title only


If I was a seditious muslim faggot in the white mosque, and I had a pretty good roll on, and America was for sale, I'd see to it my islamic friends got first dibs.

I was never very concerned about Japan's hold on the American electronics market in the 50's (cuz I was a kid) ...

and I never REALLY felt threatened by China because they seemed to be content with using us as THEIR cheap labor (THINK about that) ....

but the muzzies are ab so tively F***ED in the clear thinking department and if they ever get THAT kind of financial control of the USA .....


And I would REALLY like to hear FReeper's responses to what I just posted

I’m with you: so, if they dump US treasuries the bonds become with more. So they are selling cheap and increasing the value of the 85% of debt WE hold? Sounds stupid to me.

Who can argue with clear logic?

There is an old truism on stock exchanges..., "when you REALLY need funds you often sell what you CAN not what you would LIKE TOO."

US Treasuries (though paying historically low rates), are in high demand and the most liquid assets on the planet! Therefore, when you need funds immediately, those are the fastest sale you can make!

Perhaps our hope IS big oil.

I could live with BP owning America easier than Saudi Sands Inc., or Iranian Irresponsable Insanity and Sons

It won’t increase the value of the present debt, only the future debt, unless you are lucky enough to to get some of those discounted Chinese-held bonds.

The Treasury also called in many of their long-term high-interest bonds in exchange for cheaper short-term bonds several years ago, so if the Congress can rein in deficit spending, the impact won’t be too bad.

First we have to last the next 16 months, with the jerk speeding his agenda up exponentially.

I will never forgive nor be friends with anyone who voted for this thing that is president.

At large family gatherings, I will be polite. That’s it. Thank God there is only one out of dozens and dozens of family who is the kenyan’s supporter.

Every morning when George Soris wakes up, what kind of world does he hope for?

What world does he see as the end game of his schemes?

The article says he wants China to “ own” the new world order

Look in a mirror Mr Soros
You are not Chinese
Your children are not Chinese
Do you not think that will matter when China owns the world?
Do you think the Chinese will own the world and you will own the Chinese as you have managed to own a large swath of the American liberal left and the world’s press, bankers and financial managers?
The Chinese are not liberal, Mr Soros
It will not be a liberal world

We don’t have 16 months

We may not have 6 months

Read and study how to survive a collapse

And God Bless us all

Someday the world will record these events as a war that started at some point, continued with the coordinated plan for a western economic collapse. and ended ..... Tbd

The less U.S. paper China holds the better IMHO.

I agree, as long as someone else (other than the Fed) buys it up

It would be ideal if the majority of the treasury holdings were in individuals savings (so long as that was NOT a federal mandate!). Sadly, there is just FAR TOO MUCH sovereign debt sloshing around the world and it will never be paid off (it will be inflated away or eliminated through default).

Let's give the the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF to hold in exchange for all that "money-out-of-thin-air" he had printed.
We damn sure don't need or want that TRAITOR.

Someone remarked recently on here that a President Trump could buy up that debt at $.10 on the dollar.

I am a Christian and as such my highest hope and concern is that all men trust Jesus Christ alone for salvation. I never say “go to Hell” to anyone.

When I see Soros all I can think of is “reprobate”.

Baloney. Why would you ever want individuals who are saving money to hold U.S. Treasury debt paying 2% annual interest for a ten-year term? China is probably dumping this debt because they realize that the rate of return doesn't even cover the loss of value due to inflation.

Were there no inflation (or deflation as phony fed statistics claim), a 2-3% annual guaranteed return would be "OK".
