So....let me understand this a little better....we borrowed money from China in the first stimulus package to go to Wal-Mart and buy Chineese products.....hhhhmmm. Now we are going to borrow more money from China to correct the U.S. economy, that is in the same economic fall as the rest of the world....hhhmmm....wonder where the economic major is in thinking this one through? Do we still think that the U. S. is the only country that is in this economic slump? Check the fall of world currency, ie; the Euro has dropped in relationship to the U. S. dollar from being equal to 1.4 times greater to now being .75 of a U. S. dollar in value. Where is the economist that is telling you that the strength of the U. S. dollar has a lot to do with our economic problems. This is a giant monetary correction throughout the world. Who is the person who thinks that a temporary stimulus package is going to do anything long term except put us further in debt. If you do, I suggest that you start learning Chineese as they are on their way to being the next world power.report abuse
