China has a long mind set. They look at things in terms of hundred year plans. They will do whatever it takes to get to their goal that they set for themselves.
The USA looks in terms of the next election cycle. Since our elections pretty much go year round now, there is little that will ever get done to resolve the tough problems that our nation faces. No one up for re-election ever will say or do anything to offend any group they think can get them votes or money.
We won't even use our own resources. We prefer to see our leaders beg countries that are enemies to us to help us - by buying our IOU's, or letting us buy more of their oil.
Everyone you listen to that talks about drilling for oil, Harry Reid, Nancy Peloisi and Brack Obama along with quite a few republicans and countless democrats, say that won't work because it won't lower gas prices NOW and will take several years to be on-line.
Well, perhaps, but I would like to think that we as a nation, and our leaders, and want to be leaders, could just TRY to think maybe 5 or 10 years into the future, since it is for the very sake of the country. Get past thinking about only their party, their re-election, their money.
Instead, they pander. Instead they make speaches at the most openly racist organization in the country; LaRaza. Instead, we will do nothing. Everything we face always has to be looked at in terms of Democrat and Republican and which temporary position will gain more power and money to the party.
It's time to end it. VOTE LIBERTARIAN this year. No, that party is not all the answer - some positions are even a bit goofy, but until "we the people" show these cowardly rats in both parties that we won't take it anymore, we will get more of the same - and we will deserve it.
Oh and until we stop spending and actually pay off our debt, CHINA WILL CONTROL OUR FATE. They and other foreign governments, many very hostile to us, control our financial fate and future.
We have over 9 TRILLION in debt. Interest alone on that debt limits what we can spend on our highway system, our electric grid, energy alternative research. Anytime China decides to sell all those US bonds, they will destroy our banking system and put us into a depression that would make the '29 crash look like a little market correction.
