I saw that commercial a couple days ago and what they're saying really is accurate. We need to wake up and realize that we're falling further behind.

I wouldn't say this is a commercial to "Love", but besides some right wing propaganda thrown in it's pretty much spot on. China's economy has been growing at unheard of paces from the radical right's greed. All these american jobs going over there are crushing our economy, while making the communist nation into the world's next superpower.

I had not seen that commercial but a friend was just telling us that he has seen it several times on various channels. I think it shows that we are going down the wrong path and need to make a change.

Bawwwaaahhhh! The Chinese own barely 11% of the U.S. total debt. Of the other 12 trillion dollars of debt outstanding, only $4.4 trillion is foreign owned. Just over 36%. That leaves 53% that is institutionally owned. Owned by the U.S.

The allegation is laughable. That people believe it is irrational. That there are those trying to capitalize on the fear and hyperbole...shows the desperation, since most of them are the one's who put America on the debt track.


Status: Fallacy blown up.


Next.

You DO realize that it was that Clinton who signed NAFTA which began the outsourcing of US jobs to China and India and other third-world countries, right?

LOL! China and India huh?

North American Free Trade Agreement

I think I would sue your school district on your parents behalf. Specifically your geography and history departments for a full refund.


We'll have to save the suit against whomever else for your reliance on Lou Dobbs of all people.

A) You are from France, the republicans launched an all out slander campaign against your country (freedom fries and freedom toast anyone?)
B) NAFTA has absolutely nothing to do with corporate greed sending jobs to communist china, india and other third world countries.

I love how in this commercial a Chinese professor, you know China the COMMUNIST nation with "socialist" medicine, is lecturing us on the evils of "Obamacare." As if "Obamacare" is anything other corporate socialism.
