China is basically dropping the equivalent of an economic nuclear bomb on the US. What is funny is, China SAID they were going to do exactly that years ago.

Who pays for these ads?
And how much?
Interesting non the less.
(Cagw.org)-The financial information presented here represents the combined results for Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) and the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) for the year ended December 31, 2009, and is extracted from financial statements audited by independent accountants.
CAGW and CCAGW operate on an annual combined budget of approximately $5 million. Neither organization accepts government support. CAGW and CCAGW accept contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations and other organizations consistent with their mission to uncover, publicize and eliminate government waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. Since their inception in 1984, CAGW and CCAGW have engaged in a wide range of activities that have helped save taxpayers $1.08 trillion.

You are aware that half of the population of China earns less than $2 per day even though they have jobs or grow food?
Do a test to see how great that is. Live for a year on $2 a day and do it without any charity or government handouts. Try it out, see how it fits. No car. No computer. No TV. Perhaps a shack made from scraps off a dump heap. Cook over wood fires and watch the sky fill with the permanent brown cloud that now resides over China. Flush your sewage into the nearest river as they do. Boil dirty water to drink so it does not kill you. No Freedom of Speech. No Freedom of Religion. Censored Internet. New, old style Coal Fired Plants coming on line every day.

You guys are all directing your fears to the wrong people.
As of March 2010, the Federal Reserve held about 60% of the debt, far more than the Chinese. In fact as a percentage, the Chinese have been holding less U.S. debt compared to others.
Federal Reserve = Private bankers...who do we really work for? Who does the media work for when they bring out such a distorted ad to cover up the real problem?

Anyways, why I still don't see Americans in the streets protesting, just like Europeans?
