That is hilarious.

It's hilarious that you're so damn stupid.

The bastion of the Free World and Capitalism being
supported by a communist State.

Really? Who is supporting who? In exchange for their investing in our country we
actually PAY them interest on the money!

The Western politicians are either well
paid by corporate interests or are, in reality, communist sympathisers.

I'd have to say that overall CanaDuh has been more sympathetic to the ChiComs
far longer than has the USA.

We are no longer on the gold standard (Thanks, Tricky Dick Nixon), so
there is not very much of anything backing the dollar. Yes, they get
"interest", but only because we are cranking up the printing presses to
run a bit faster. No gold nor much of a manufacturing base left to back
up the fast-sinking dollar. The whole thing is a teetering house of
cards and heaven help us all when it all comes crashing down.

He had to take us off the gold standard. The Democraps were far beyond the
point of spending the country into bankruptcy and foreign countries were
starting to hit what was left of our gold supply. They would have left us
selling pencils outside the UN building if Nixon hadn't acted decisively.

Well, where have you been? In case you've not noticed, today's economy
is flirting with a melt down. You're quick to blame the "Democraps", but
seem willing to overlook seven years of the "Republicrooks" that brought
the economy to where it is today. This trillion dollar 'war' and other
follies of this administration is coming dangerously close to
bankrupting the country and having us sell pencils outside the UN
building as you so aptly put it.

Maybe it's not a Republican or Democrat thing. Maybe it's a "politician"
thing?
