China's $47 billion high speed rail to North America

[the other mike]

That's right.

Here in the United States, while we've been squandering our money to the tune of $31 trillion dollars and counting, China's quietly been surpassing us in virtually every technological achievement possible.

I think it's extremely ironic that a hundred years ago Chinese slaves helped build our first railroads.....karma ?

Another day another yuan, as they say.( will be saying soon)

Even at 1%, the interest alone on our national debt is more than we owe China and Japan respectively."

It's also more than the total annual income tax collected in the United States.

I'd say that's a threat to our democracy, don't you Democrats ?

I've been warning for years about the leftist plan to spend us to bankruptcy with the Cloward/Piven plan & then say capitalism doesn't work, we need "socialism".

But your math is a little off. 1% of $30 trillion is $300 billion. Still way too much to spend on debt service but less than they collect in taxes. 10% would be $3,000,000,000,000 (3 trill)

Without completely eliminating most govt spending, there is no chance we can ever pay that back. We have totally screwed over our kids & the idiot monopoly money spending party still goes on
