What are your sorces for econimic insights . What do you like or dislike of them .

Walls of your bedroom must be very interesting.

Delta4, yes, there's actually plenty of reading material there. Some of it saved for my next sabatical.

The small letter : Chinese have tockpiled almost 4T in US debt. Yes , they are comming back to purchase from the US, but not your regular consumer goods,no sir. it's capital goods and assets : factories, retail centers, land., hotels , whole companies. "

There you go Ed.

100% stupid and liberal as always

1) Its $3.6 trillion of which $1.4 is Treasuries, not assets
2) it's $3.6 trillion total outstanding for the last 35 years while our GDP is $18 trillion every year
3) Most importantly, you didn't point out why the above is important. You may think you presented an argument but you didn't come within a million miles of an argument.

Remember, liberal means, dumb!!

Remember, liberal means, dumb!!

1) Would you rather classify them as capital or liabilities ?
2) Yes Ed, it's only 3.6 trillion, mind you enough to buy all the factories in one state.
3) Why is it important? Well, because it means that Milton is wrong:
1) Trade balance are not settled in the short run ... in the long run maybe
2) Because once they are settled it doesn't necesarily translate into a good situation for both economies.
Those 3.4 T are enough to buy the top 100 largest companies of the US (Apple, Exxon, Microsoft , google , berkshire hathaway, walmart, GE ) .
If ( and this is a big if ) China did such thing , would that be in the best interest of the US ? Would that translate into a net benefit for the US or China , and how ?

Those 3.4 T are enough to buy the top 100 largest companies of the US

Let me count the ways a liberal is stupid and illiterate:
1) on a good day Apple alone is worth close to a $1trillion. Thats 30% of 3.4T not 1%
2) They cant buy Apple with US bonds they need cash which means selling the bonds. If they sold them their value would collapse
3) The last time China tried to buy a tiny American company we made it illegal. Just one major company like Apple would be 100% impossilbe.

See why we have to be 100% positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance?

100% stupid!! This is the long run. China has been accumulating our debt for 40 years and it has caused no problem whatsoever. If it did cause a problem you would have said what the problem is, obviously.

See why we say, stupid and liberal?? What other conclusion is possible??

1) Ok, my bad, maybe not the 100 largest, but the 16 largest.

Apple : 724
Exxon : 324 B
BH : 356 B
Microsoft 333 B
Wells Fargo :279 B
J&J : 279 B
Walmart : 265 B
GE : 249 B
JP Morgan : 225 B
Verizon : 198 B
Oracle : 188 B
Citigroup : 156 B
Home Depot : 148
Intel : 148
Pepsico : 141
Cisco : 140

2) Or gold, lately the chinese have been dumping bonds and exchanging them for gold. Also the stock is still bubbling so it is likely the above numbers go down, which would make the purchase easier. The key players from the above list would be Exxon, BH , Walmart, GE, Home Depot, Intel, Cisco.
3) Really ? Any links to support your claim?
And even if it was so. Wouldn't that be a protectionist measure prooving MF was wrong, which by the by was my original argument ?

"Energy and power investments made up almost half of all Chinese M&A in the US between 2005 and 2012, but recent deals are more diverse as private Chinese companies from a variety of industries join the M&A game"

"Finally, the most prominent slice of the M&A pie in 2014 was information technology. That sector, according to Rhodium, accounted for 48 percent of total Chinese FDI in the United States, boosted by Lenovo’s $2.9 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility."

too stupid you are all over the lot and have no idea what subject is!!! That's the perfect way to stay stupid and liberal. You were saying your best example of Friedman being wrong was that he did not worry about trade deficits. Back it up or admit you lack the IQ to have a favorite economist.

Rather it's you who can't admit you've lost an argument.
MF said that trade deficits were of no concern because
1) In the long run trade balances should return to zero.
2) Those imports would eventually return as imports, which would benefit the country with the trade deficit in the long run.This is wher MF is wrong:

1) It's bee 35 years and the balance is not zero (yet) ... so we'll just have to wait to see how much time the-long-run is.
2) He only considered goods imports. He never considered the posibility that whole companies could be bought. While direct investments are good, company purchases are in a gray area because foreign companies are a mixed blessing, in the worst case they siphon profits to China.

We are not there yet Chinese investments are still modest, but it is a very real posibility: that the US can be financially colonized by China.

too stupid, what you lack the IQ to understand is that we have been building deficits and debt for decades and there is no harm. However, there is great harm from the liberal taxes, liberal unions, liberal budget deficits and from the liberal war on the schools and family that have all greatly harmed our industry.
The problem is not China, but rather liberalism. We must correct liberalism, not steal from our trading partners, start trade wars, or cripple our industry further by protecting it from competition.

Do you have the IQ to understand!

I demand that you talk over any answer to the above with an educated person before you post it!!

Milton Friedman said that trade deficits were of no concern.

in and of themselves he was correct about trade deficits, but that is not to say they don't signal that our economy is becoming increasingly less competitive under the weight of liberal anti business policies.

The US economy hasn't been booming exactly , nor the wages for 80% of the Americans.

However, there is great harm from the liberal taxes, liberal unions, liberal budget deficits and from the liberal war on the schools and family that have all greatly harmed our industry.

Liberal Unions - The SCOTUS declared freedom as asociation as part of the freedom of speech. Go speak with them, or ask for a constitution without freedom of speach.
Freedom of association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
liberal budget deficits - Both dems and reps have recorded budget deficits

liberal war on schools and family - That's just nonesense . You can choose a school from anywhere in the US, or the world for that matter, same goes for your spouse. Pick a conservative one if that suits you.

100% stupid as always. Our subject was unions not freedom of speech. Do you understand??

thanks to Barry's communism. Cuban economy has not boomed since the day Castro took over. ever wonder why??

1000% stupid even for you. Kids don't pick schools, they are forced into liberal union schools that destroy them rather than teach them. Republicans want the freedom to pick with vouchers but libcommies resist at every turn.

What planet are you on culture creep????????????

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

, same goes for your spouse. Pick a conservative one if that suits you.

30000% stupid even for you. Ghetto people must mate among ghetto people and the rich among the rich. the rich don't want to marry ghetto people and ghetto people don't want to marry the rich. OMG!! stupid!!! As if marrying right would the solve the problems liberals have created!!

Why not write a letter to Barry and tell him you've got the solution??

 

[CultureCitizen]

30000% stupid even for you. Ghetto people must mate among ghetto people and the rich among the rich. the rich don't want to marry ghetto people and ghetto people don't want to marry the rich. OMG!! stupid!!!

So , you'v never dated a ghetto girl ?
... interesting.
