  1. Given the woman we sat next to at the dinner the other night, I think this message will really speak to Baby Boomers and older. That woman was deeply disturbed by other countries outperforming the U.S.

  2. Wow!

    On the other hand, China now has a vested interest in continued American prosperity.

    “If you owe a bank thousands, you have a problem; owe a bank millions, the bank has a problem”

    What if you owe them trillions?

  3. Problem is if US defaults on its debt china’s screwed and they know it. If china decides to kill us there screwed and they know it to. Still scares the crap out of you. Should put that on the TV and see how it goes.

    It kinda reminds me of a move used in an turn based RPG I play called perish song. It takes out the opponent automatically in 3 turns no matter how strong, how higher leveled or how much health it has remaining, but it does the same to you.
