BUY MORE CHINESE?

Hillary Clinton in China: "Because our economies are so intertwined the Chinese know that in order to start exporting again to its biggest market, the United States had to take some very drastic measures with this stimulus package," Clinton said.

"We have to incur more debt. It would not be in China's interest if we were unable to get our economy moving again."

Clinton added: "The US needs the investment in Treasury bonds to shore up its economy to continue to buy Chinese products." (didn't we once say BUY AMERICAN?)

Isn't she one of the politicians who a few years ago was complaining about NAFTA taking so many jobs from Americans? I forget. She's not talking to the union leadership right now. When she talks to them she will talk a different story. She and Obama share the same brain.

AHSO! You so light! How sad. Hillary prostituting to the Chinese for debt money like a street corner Ho Chi Min.

...incur more debt to keep the Chinese economy going.... you gotta be kidding me!

More incredible is this is the first I have heard of this outrage... the MSM, as far as I know, did not cover this.

Things are going down fast. After trying to reassure everyone he would shore up the banks and protect them, the Dow sank to a 10 year low and most likely will dip below 7000 before the week is out.

Obama says he doesn't want to nationalize the banks but every single day that goes by now he takes actions to do just that!

And ABCnews is reporting that he is running at a 68% approval rating! We have become so lost and disoriented as a nation it boggles the mind.

It just seems crazy to have China own so much of our debt. Where will that eventually lead us?!

One only need take a look at the ruins in Greece and Italy to see where it will lead us, if we do not cease and desist.

This is alarming, to say the least. We are in for a very scary 4 years. Time for serious prayer.

~Leslie said...

Yes time for serious prayer! And remember, Clinton said that we can't "concern" ourselves with China's human rights issues...God takes human life seriously.

Where does this all lead? Well, look at China for a moment (you had a good view at the Olympics recently.) China is continuing to build up it's armed forces and the people are under communism (which means they are beaten down and believe that they have no power over the government...they are living in fear and will do whatever the government tells them to do.)

Take a guess at what China will do once they have positioned themselves where they can dominate with other dictators...and decide to dump our bonds in the pretty little ocean...where are we?

Can we say the former Soviet Union? Police state? Government control over everything?

A little too much time in the heroine tents I see.

Shoprat is dead on.

I missed the Duck's comment. Is it possible that even he can't justify this?

Bloviating Zeppelin said...

SHAME for ALLOWING ourselves to get into THIS jackpot in the FIRST damned place!

When we need CHINA??

Anyone remember the AIRCRAFT and CREW they held HOSTAGE a few years ago??

The only power China has is the power we GIVE them.

And it's all made even better by the fact that their products include lead, tainted milk, etc.

Pas! I'd forgotten....bad baby food, bad EVERYTHING. Oh, MAN, brilliant observation! thanks

It's true that it's in the interest of the Chinese for America to get going again, after all if there aren't many to by the stuff the Chinese make, there goes their 10% growth and all that, up in smoke.

On the other hand, is it a good thing to have the Communists holding most of you folks purse strings, yeah, didn't think so.

Unfortunately for you folks, the Democrats aren't big on the best interests of the nation.

Justify what, Chuck?

Maybe you'd like to have China start massive sell-offs of T-bills and cause a run on the dollar?

Are you new?

I.H.S. said...

Can't we all see the commercials...

Look for the Chinese Label! geeeeZ!

You know, I have a new saying which is:'You Can't Make This Stuff Up'

Blessings.

Z said...

I.H.S....join Mr and Mrs. Z...we say the same thing nearly every day.

Tony C said...

Hey Z...those aren't just Chinese hats. They're neurowave blockers so Hillary's brainwaves would be contained and not contaminate Eastern ideology with liberal nonsense. Wait...they're already socialist...oh, I forgot China doesn't acknowledge that fact.

Man they're smart.

Is it ironic that my verification word to comment post is 'dishoe?'

Hillary looks just as lousy as a coolie as she did as a First Lady. Could it be because she IS just plain LOUSY?


I think so!

Justify what, Chuck?

The Dems have attacked Bush for not fighting China on human rights. They camapigned on fighting for human rights.Hillary visits China and that is immediately taken off the table.

The Dems attacked Bush for sending all of our jobs to China. The Dems campaigned on this issue. Hillary goes to China and now were trade partners.

Justify this.

I guess the real question here is, do the Dems stand by anyhting they say they do?

Why the Hell is that that now that they are in the WH (and Bush is gone) none of these issues are important?

Ducky's here said...

Now just when was he "attacked" over human rights in China?

Everyone who is thinking knows we can't push China too far without tipping the economy.

Americans love going into debt to by cheap Chinese crap. Hell they don't care what kind of lousy conditions workers are subject to so long as they can go to Wal-Mart and buy cheap crap.

Ah Wal-Mart, the American dream. A company so predatory that its import policies actually lowered the standard of living in BANGLADESH.

D's/R's there isn't much difference but please stop talking as if you give two cold farts in hell about anything but lower taxes and a chance to buy more cheap crap you don't need. Just stop.

Chuck said...

Duck,

You still haven't answered the question as to why human rights are no longer important to the Dems.

As far as Wal-Mart, who sat on the board of this exploitive, anti-union, horrible company?

A) George Bush

B) Hillary Clinton
