Girl: Today is chinese New Year. In China, everybody's borthday is New Year's. My birthday is today! Get this Frazz. I'm Chinese. Frazz: So much is these days.
Goods and services from China accounted for only 2.7% of U.S. personal consumption spending in 2010. About 88.5% of U.S. spending last year was on American-made products and services.
Foreign-made products are most prevalent among so-called durable goods, which are big-ticket items such as cars, furniture and appliances. About one-third of all durable goods Americans purchased last year were made abroad; 12% came from China.
And, of every dollar spent on an item labeled ‘Made in China,’ 55 cents goes for services produced in the United States.
They don’t have to call in the debt. In another couple of decades they will simply refuse to trade any more. All our skilled labor force will have died and we could no longer make anything for ourselves. Then they, and their multinational corporate allies, will be the colonial power to rule the world. We are almost there now and some more union busting will speed up the process.
I once challenged my kids to find something in their room that was not “Made in China”. My four year old flipped out when I checked behind her ear and said,“Yep, You’re made in China too”. It fun messing with them. Now they know better.

>>"Forget conquest, they’ve bought America outright."And isn’t that the capitalist free-market way to have done it? :-)

China is on the verge of their own bad credit housing crisis. Think this global recession was bad?

This boy’s logic is as bad as this joke’s: “God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is blind. Ray Charles is God.”

Would it be offensive to point out that the name is Tet?
