The Chinese Communists.... artificial currency controls vs. the dollar... I don't trust those SOB's as far as I can throw 'em.
Careful, now, Poobs!

Those boys are Communist in name only. Actually, a better definition for the government would be, "Capitalist Oligarchy". They are embracing the capitalist path with a vengence. And ya' know what? -they aren't going to be held back by any Judeo-Christian ethics. They're gonna' show us Capitalism in it's purest form - winner takes all.

And as for the artificial currency control, if China DID let the exchange rate fluctuate, three things would happen:

First: We, the U.S., in order to keep OUR economy, (and war), afloat, have borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars from the People's Republic, a debt that our grandkids will still be paying off long after all of us buy the farm (the deed to which, by the way, is held by the Chinese smirk ) You can be guarateed that if the dollar starts to gain on the Yuan, the Chinese are going to call in those debts, and we'll default on the loans.

Second: If the yuan starts falling against the dollar. OUR economy will take a head-first dive into a depression. We here in the U.S. have been living well because of the cheap goods coming from China. When the price of those cheap goods start spiraling upward we won't be able to afford our comfortable consumer lifestyle - and WE will become 'poor'!

Third: because there is no Middle Class in the Republic, there would be one helluva revolution as the poor get cut out of EVERYTHING and the rulers get richer. (I suppose some might think this is a good thing, but it could very well throw the world into another world war.)

Like it or not, the next millenium will probably belong to the Chinese - and THOSE boys don't brook no backtalk from their employees!


If you don't agree with them....

...they shoot ya"! smirk

You're right, Dennis.

A totalitarian regime where the only rule is there aren't any.

And yeah - it's knioda scary when ya find out the Chinese are the largest holder of US governemt debt. They basically hold our economic future. They start to sell, then hey - interest rates skyrocket, and we're stuck.

Politicians gave it away - spend spend spend, and just keep on sellin' more debt. Giving it away is just totally inexplicable nd just plain stupid! Come on! $6 TRILLION PLUS in a national debt? Man...

Ed-

Wish we could lay all of the blame on our politcians, but I'm thinkin' that "we the people" need to shoulder a large part of the blame, too. WE elected these idiots, and to my way of thinking, for all the wrong reasons. We are so busy devouring ourselves ideologically, that the politicos can get by with saying: "It's the will of the people". We haven't vetted/challenged our elected officials nearly enough. The left and right are too busy throwing epitaphs at one another to realize that the power boys have stolen our country.

We have, as a nation and as individuals, been so busy clawing our way to becoming the money whores of universe that we have sold our heritage, and our honor, to the highest bidder.

WAFNA!*** mad mad mad

I'll climb down off my soapbox now and trundle back into the darkness.

Some other things to keep in mind. The Chicoms see the US as their most likely advesary when they decide to expand their influence by means of bayonet. They have plans to do as much harm to this country as possible.

Their space program was a flop until a certain president allowed a US corporation to help them fix their problems.

Chicom money did find its way into a presidential campaign a few years ago.

Several years ago, the Chinese had a little war with Vietnam. The Vietnamese slice off the Chicoms butt and hand it back to them. I doubt the Chinese government has forgotten that, and has taken steps to improve their army.

I had a guy contact me wanting to know if he could fly his C-150 from somewhere in Asia to Alaska following the coast line. I did not want to answer him as I did not want to have any form of liability. Also I just did not know. Very interesting.
