• Truthdig.comWhat a hoot. The Chinese Communists invaded Washington on Monday demanding not that we sacrifice our freedoms but rather that we balance our budget.

Ahem! Apparently, somebody forgot to inform you that it is the Chinese who has lent the US the money for three wars, two bailouts, etc. etc. etc. Therefore, whether you like it or, whether you approve of it or not, the Chinese are the ones that own the US and it is the Chinese that get to call the shots when it comes to THEIR money.
If you borrowed a half a million bucks from the banks, I'm quite sure that they make you accountable for it too, unless, of course, you happen to be one of their CEOs and give the money to yourself as a bonus for your indispensable non-performance.
Now, what I'd love to see is the Chinese march into Washington and demand that their money is paid back...with interest! Ha ha! Now, that ought to be a hoot!
