I don't want to borrow money on our Chinese credit card though to enjoy it!!!!!! Your children will hate you for what you are doing to their future. You are borrowing money from the Chinese for art and PBS and yet your kids and grandkids will be the ones slaving to pay it off.
... just another talking point. Romney's "borrowing money from China" is a red herring designed to obfuscate and keep you from addressing the REAL issue: corporations and the 1% were BOTH given huge tax breaks on the argument of "trickle down" and did NOTHING for our economy - not jobs, not investment, not skills training - just pocketed the money in their Swiss accounts. By your reasoning there is NOTHING that any of us should spend money on because no bank can guarantee that its loan base doesn't cross country lines. Romney knows that this is an idiot's argument. And many of us know that Romney and the 1%ers will do or say anything to keep their greed.
