A Chink in the Armor

Americans, Rejoice! We are at the brink of economic salvation. The House and Senate have both come up with plans to save us from being punished for our irresponsible ways. Once they compromise, the O will sign into law a mortgage document imprisoning your children and grandchildren for generations. NO amount of work or frugality will result in the same things it achieved for our parents or Grandparents. The future is secure... FOR CHINA. Huh? ...did he say CHINA? That's right, child..while we were spending phantom dollars for giant Hummers, pool heaters, commemorative coin sets, breast enlargements and erectile dysfunction tablets,...the Chinese have been quietly buying U.S. treasury bills. You are now mostly beholdin to Bejing for your future. You see...most of this debt we've incurred and continue to incur has been underwritten by the Great Eggroll. I couldn't begin to understand what the zeros represent, Billions-Trillions- Quadrillions. Even McCartney's ex can't fathom it.
But take heart, dear reader. Go down to NYC and watch the container ships come and go. The ones sitting lower in the water are full,... coming from China. The ones leaving the US are going back empty because we no longer produce anything.

  1. It's amazing how many complaints you have already posted about the new administration. I should say the legally elected new administration. Ah, yes. Isn't it nice to have a legally elected prez for a change? Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure many of your complaints have been and will be legitimate. Oh that's another word we can use for this last election...legitimate. But I've been looking for your blogs over the past 8 years or so. Funny, can't fine any. So I can assume you were happy with the direction of the country over these last 8 years? You sure seem to have no problem listing your complaints now. I guess maybe your new pal "O" will have to out a CIA agent to get into your good graces.
