US response to China "Threat"
Apparently, despite tha fact the US already being more than 14 trillion it debt, it decides to go do this...

Even though the US already have a very capable and advanced military.

Yes the debt is massive, but you still have to keep the military up to date, or even further ahead than the rest.

The US military are already up to date and ahead of most other nations (including China). This is a ridiculous amount of overspending.

I would like to note that after a while, the bank stops owning you and you start to own the bank.

Because China needs to keep it's currency undervalued compared to the dollar to keep it's economic growth, there is a defined interest it has in keeping the US afloat... until it can extricate itself from the debt it bought.

In any case, we're hemorrhaging money -- something's gotta give.

It pays to be better armed than the people you owe money to.

I'm going to piss myself laughing when Chinese repo-men reclaim those destroyers.

When Chinese repo-men become as big as destroyers, I am sure to be pissing. Laughing? Probably not.

The dividends from military superiority is temporary. The interest payment on the money borrowed to finance it is, at present rate, forever.

I read somewhere just the other day that China's military will be larger & more powerful than ours by 2025 at their current rate of build-up.

No link unfortunately.

It has nothing to do with China and everything to do with the bottom lines of the corporate whores who sell this shit. The military procurement process is a national disgrace and that is just the way BIG BUSINESS wants it.
