We don't owe China $16trillion. In fact, the amount of debt China owns has been decreasing YOY.
I didn't say we owed them $16 trillion. I said I hope he puts the whole $16 trillion on the ropes, which is language used in the article. You did read the article?
Actually we are the largest creditor - the American people. The UK, China, and Japan also hold a huge portion.
According to the article Romney blackmailed the FDIC, who was only one of the creditors, into accepting $0.30 on the dollar.

Can you please explain how someone who does not hold any political office can "blackmail" the FDIC?

I think he regrets his word choice - but not the sentiment, because he's actually correct.
We need to raise taxes on everyone. I'm ready. Are you ready for the Clinton-era taxes?

No YOU get a grip...sorry but your wrong...47% of the people who live in the U.S. suck off of some sort of social agency and actually work the system on their behalf.

But huh, that is not what he said, nor did he mention any of this when questioned about the comment that he made he just repeated it Basically you are putting words in his mouth, face it he said what he said in front of his peers and meant it
Yep. If you can't support them on your own, don't have children. Life decisions aren't that hard. You're either an idiot and you suffer the consequences; or you're not.
Don't force me to pay for your idiotic decisions. Same goes for the banks that were bailed out. Don't force me to pay for their idiotic decisions.

And I should have just died when I had the audacity to get cancer at 23 just 4 months into my first professional job out of college (that I paid my way through for with work and large scholarships - graduated debt-free). How dare I want to live?

I'm not saying he didn't mean it, I know he meant it and he should...I congratulate him for telling the truth....
