The U.S. borrows money from China....and Saudi Arabia, Japan, Holland, Mexico, Canada, the UK, just to name a few. So you might want to learn...anything, something!


Your:""Finally, since the rest of the world calls us these names, they can stop using America as a vacation spot and as a place to migrate to. ""


....makes no sense whatsoever....are YOU going to pass a law against this?

We don't borrow money, do any of you buffoons have any clue about how the government works? At all?

However, going back to your original post that I picked apart, if the world thinks that way about the US, then how do you explain why everyone wants to come here?

OK, you don't want to talk about why we need allies or who we borrow money from.
So:
A: "EVERYONE" does NOT want to come here.

B: Other countries hate Bush and his inteferring, arrogant world wide agenda. they do not necessarily hate America or Americans.

C: Your , ""the US could stop people from coming here if they wanted to like curbing immigration "....contains "could" and "if"...not facts.

How do you think we came up with the money for the Iraq War?

WHAT is a bond but the promise to repay with interest the $$$ that is paid for it?

Sure sounds like borrowing to me.

I'm not suggesting anything, merely illustrating my previous point that separating foreign policy from trade policy is difficult if not impossible.

Well unless nationA wants to FORCE nation B to sell there is little foreign policy can do either...

Perhaps if the USA was a little less involved overseas it would be in a much better position re: trade.

T-Bills, T-Notes, etc. aren't borrowing???

Or did buffoon come to mind while you were looking in a mirror?

FORCING them would be a foreign policy decision, exactly my point of trade and foreign policies being inseparable when strategic materials are at stake.

There's a big difference between involvement and unwanted, unwarranted involvement.
