do you even know what the gdp is-----if you did then you would know that 8$trillion is not going to make us or break us. AND THAT IS A FACT!!!!

[laurieleemoo]

frankly6 what fact did i say that you think is just my opinion anyway----and actually i could say the same about you---now can't i

[laurieleemoo]

and by the way----FRANKLY6----china would not be the growing economy they are if you would STOP throwing your money at them----NOW WOULD THEY?????????????????????

[frankly6]

All I see is opinion and spin. Not facts and figures. As I said, you are remarkably imune to facts. Quite extraorinary really.

[laurieleemoo]

yeah, uh huh and where did you hear that from (let me guess, THE DEMOCRATS)---the pessimists of the WORLD

[laurieleemoo]

frankly---we have had dieficits before and always will---but that still DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACTS THAT I HAVE STATED TO YOU!!!!

[frankly6]

Question when shoul we be cocerned. Perhaps when 30 cents of every tax dollar goes to paying the interest on debt? 50 cents? 75 cents? It was 10 cents when the GOP took over congress. Hmmmm....

[laurieleemoo]

i don't care who is the biggest growing or if our's is the 6th highest in growing economy----the world still has a long way to go before they even BEGIN to catch up to us....

[frankly6]

Your imunity to facts is astounding.

[laurieleemoo]

YOU REALLY DON'T REALIZE JUST HOW RICH THIS COUNTRY IS DO YOU? Obviously not-----I guess the democrats have really scared the *** out of you, huh.

[frankly6]

Serial budget deficits in the U.S. have led to rising public debt, which means an increasing portion of government spending goes toward debt service. That means less money is available for spending on infrastructure, schools or other investments that could boost productivity. Heavy government borrowing, which means competing for money in financial markets with the private sector, also tends to drive up businesses' borrowing costs.

[laurieleemoo]

the world really has you convinced that China is something to be afraid of or something? Chill out will you----they are not the high and might power you think they are. We still are however.
and that my friend---IS THE WAY IT IS!!!!

[frankly6]

The U.S.'s huge budget deficit threatens to make the country's economy less competitive, according to a study by the World Economic Forum, an institute in Switzerland.

The institute's annual study of global competitiveness says the U.S. economy is the sixth most-competitive in the world, slipping from first place in last year's ranking, a result of mediocre scores for its public finances.

i hate to tell you frankly6 but 8 trillion $ is not going to make or break the US (I don't give a hoot who are biggest creditor is.) Gawd, you are so brainwashed. Do you know that even at the rate China is growing today---even if you add on interest------in 50 years they might catch up to our economy----and that would be if we didn't grow at all (which is just not possible). China may be the biggest growing economy in the world---but they will still NEVER catch us. You really need to get your facts straight

[frankly6]

Nearly 20 cents of every tax dollar we give goes to just paying the interest on the debt we already owe. Yet everytime Congress comes to the legal limit of debt that we can take on, they simply raise the limit and continue borrowing.

[frankly6]

If we stop buying their products they will stop financing our record budget deficits (8 trillion). Then we crash and burn. Look into it. They are the single biggest creditor of the USA.

[laurieleemoo]

frankly6----I hate to tell you but 8 trillion $ is about .001 of our GDP---if even that. We have a long way to do before we go bankrupt-----we can also collect on money people owe us. Or better yet---stop trying to solve THE WORLD's problems by constantly throwing our taxpayers $ to them.

[laurieleemoo]

people have you brainwashed if you think China is the only place now to buy from

[laurieleemoo]

oh yoo hoo frankly6----when you make a concerted effort as i have been for the past 2 months you will find that there are actually other suppliers---you would not possibly know this though unless you had made the effort. I have bought lots of things in the past few months--guess what NOT A THING from CHINA did I buy. Actually, the WTO has brought in numerous countries that would just love to compete with China---namely, Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico, Bulgaria, the Phillippines I could go on and on .....

[frankly6]

Try to find something that wasn't made in China. I bet your computer and nearly everything else you own was as well. Check it out.
