China May Not Bail Out US

The US-China economic nexus is the most strategically important in the world today. The nexus is in danger of fraying as US Government dependence on Chinese money grows even as China now has more options for how it spends or invests its huge surplus than it did even 2 or 3 years ago. The Chinese have growing doubts about the wisdom of continuing to buy US Treasuries at their current enormous rate.

Bailing us out won’t teach us anything.

[Lurker]

But threatening not to will.

ping.

You must be a really bad communist fascist when China doesn’t want to loan you money eh Barrack?

[so_real]

GOOD NEWS ! I’d hate to lose our sovereignty over stupid economics.

[Oldpuppymax]

Well that just means Hussein will have to work the presses on weekends, right?

[rabscuttle385]

*Ping!*

Did somebody actually believe China would bail us out?
They believe in the tooth fairy too?

[Grut]

Well, we can always sell them Taiwan: they agree to buy bonds they know won’t be repaid, we agree to do nothing when they invade. Except for refusing to pay back the bonds, of course.

We are too big to fail. The Chinese will have to bail us out. Maybe when they do they will put caps on congress spending, their compensation and retirement packages and take away polousie’s jet

Can I ask a good question:

Why should they? So they can help Obama give money to ACORN so Jimmy Hoffa can vote in the next cycle?

Best,

As hard as it might turn out to be, many in this country need a big wake up call. The left are doomed to follow the marxist steps of those before them. When the commie Chinese are sounding less socialist/comunist than our current marixst leader, then it is time to really speak out.

Good they can Keep our money! we need to start making our own consumption Items again anyway.

The Chinese are now probably feeling that their massive Treasury holdings are going to get diluted and inflated away - just like our savings and retirement funds.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

1. Where is China getting the money to loan us, anyway?

2. What will we (0bambi) offer China to keep the treasuries afloat?

3. What’s the going rate for military secrets?

Why would the chineese buy that bridge?
It won’t be long before the argument that America is the worlds consumer is a joke..they don’t need us..

I bet they do.

[nbhunt]

ya know....if you have no job, no good credit, you can’t buy a car or house... USA has no credit.....that’s a good thing I think. I don’t like the idea of owing China anything, not even a stick of gum....

Yes

Who buys their exports if we are broke? If they don't sell their exports their unemployment rate goes up and the potential for mass uprisings grows. The commies know full well about their history of mass uprisings when things get bad.

The more likely scenario is that they will continue buying our treasuries, but with conditions.

[wmfights]

Why should they?

It's in their best interest. They keep a market for their goods, which keeps their people working. Also, the more dependent we become the more they can manipulate us in other areas.

If another large mkt opened up for them to sell their goods to they would probably drop us in a second.
