Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Since the Chinese now own about 22% of our economy, they've decided to re-invest by establishing self-contained colonies right here. http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/china-wants-to-construct-a-50-square-mile-self-sustaining-city-south-of-boise-idaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Gato Gordo - SASS #15162 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 And I see on the news this morning that China has built its first Aircraft Carrier. Beachhead? Aircraft Carrier? Of course, I thought their first beachhead was WalMart. eGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Recently I'm starting to think that being as old as I am isn't necessarily a bad thing. Means I won't be around when America is no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If we wait a bit then its time for us to take a page out of the communist play book and nationalize all their assets in this country. Like our debt, etc. China has a great naval aviation tradition .... right? It took the US about 89 years to get to where we are today with respect to aircraft carriers. Or did they invent the aircraft carrier ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Quentin Quale, Esq. SASS 9953 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Why am I having visions of Paul Ford running around in an American Legion cap and waiving a saber shouting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfXmzChtXXc&NR=1 I'm no Sun Tsu but if I were of a mind to "conquer" the U.S. I don't think I'd pick Idaho as my starting point. The article did not say anything about "extraterritoriality" so we can presume that U.S. law continues in effect. If the Chines want to spend their money here...well, it's their money. Let 'em spend it as they want to. Regarding carriers, there's a whole lot more to Naval Avaition than just having a flat deck. The Russians worked on it for almost 20 years and pretty much got nowhere. SQQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Quentin Quale, Esq. SASS 9953 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Would you want to live in DC? In the spring and fall it can be a nice place. Lots of great places to eat (and about every style of food on Urth is served, someplace). Some really outstanding museums. Excellent public transport system. If we could just move out the "undesireables" it'd be a nice place. Oh, and avoid the summer and winter. SQQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a "communist" country they sure seem to have a firm grasp of the concept of capitalism. Make stuff, sell it, everyone prospers. Too bad those pinheads in D.C. don't understand it as well.

T. H. O' Sullivan Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Now the Peoples Republic of China says we're already in default on our loans: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/china-ratings-house-says-us-defaulting-report-054309883.html So, when do they start collection procedures and begin repossessing their collateral? Let's see them try to foreclose on the United States. You make a bad loan to a Country lacking credit worthiness, you run the risk of huge losses. If banks can be shut down for too many bad loans, why not shut down China? T.H. O'Sullivan Black Mesa Ranch New Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If banks can be shut down for too many bad loans, why not shut down China? T.H. O'Sullivan Black Mesa Ranch New Mexico Because we still need them to buy our debt. We need the money from somewhere. We pay for our huge defecit every year by taking out loans on the open market, and China is the only one with enough money to back it. If China decides to not buy our dept anymore and tries to collect on their loans, it would tank our economy. If our economy tanks, theirs goes down with it. It is a slippery slope. It is in both nations best interests to keep things status quo. The country needs to do the same thing that people in debt need to do. Balance the budget, quit spending more than you have, and pay your existing debt down. Our country is nowhere near being able to do that. Scary stuff.

T. H. O' Sullivan Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Add to all of this the Dollar is just not worth anything anymore. My wife goes with her two sisters to Italy next month for her 50th birthday and they have been buying Euros to spend there. $1000.00 US only buys 670 Euros. Something is really wrong with that picture. The President is telling us not to worry about all of this. Maybe he needs a math tutor and spend less time on the Golf Course or promising Brazil we will be one of their best oil purchasing customers. There is just no sense of urgency on his part. T.H.
