Or, (standard Republican approach), we could solve this and everything else by just cutting taxes and borrowing more :lmao:

...or start a war! :lol:

But, do you really think that China would keep lending us money if we started a war against them?

Only if it subsidized their armament industries by providing them with testing for their equipment.

But just think of the profits that can be made from the armaments industry! Republican economics 101. :wink:

Here is another option, which we will have no choice but to face sooner or later anyway:

We all just put our heads between our legs, and kiss it goodbye.

Actually, I think that selling Texas to China would be the best solution.

Think about it:

Texas and Taxes are anagrams of each other.

Texas got us into this mess by giving us George Bush Sr. and Jr.

We really shouldn't have stolen Texas from Mexico in the first place.

Texas isn't worth a trillion dollars to us, but would probably be worth more than a trillion dollars to China--particularly given China's present efforts to expand influence in the Western Hemisphere. Also, the Chinese are stinking rich right now, and have so much money that they can't figure out what to do with it.

Texas leads the US in executions. The Chinese are also very strongly in favour of the death penalty.

Neither Texas nor China think a whole lot about independent labour unions.

China and Texas both constructed Great Walls to keep out foreigners.

If we don't give up Texas, then we really may have no choice other than to raise taxes. Think about it: Texas? Or Taxes? That's a "no-brainer", as they say in Texas.

But China is rethinking this policy:

So China may become "to soft" on the long run for Texans (or teach them just how culture can develop into more human societies).

When we cede Texas to China, look at whom we will be giving up:

Maybe 'The One' should give the premier of China an off-brand baseball card collection and a couple boxes of Kikkoman soy sauce - that'll smooth things over :lol:.

I listen to him 20 sec. and than my the pain in my brain hurts (I always thought that the brain can't feel pain on itself till now). You are certain that the USA wouldn't had to pay China a "significant" amount to take him?

BTW - There is the UK a treatment for hurting brains:

Of course, shortly after we've closed the deal and sold Texas to China, we will convince secret US-appointed Mexican guerilla freedom fighters to initiate a rebellion in the name of liberation, and convince the world that the US is forced to intervene and bring democracy the USA way. Just look up your Texas history. :P

Hey! I'm a Texan! And I never had a voice (I'm only 14) to elect GWB. I'm sorry, but if I have to "Pledge alliegence to Mao ZeDong's Red Flag," I'm taking off! (Arkansas or Florida.)
