  • Shift in U.S. - China Dialogue Is Louder than Words [View article]
    Our Military and its "good-old-boy" Industrial Complex literally live on borrowed money. If China and other lenders want to reign in our imperialist military activities around the globe, they can do so at any moment. They'll just turn off the financial spigots and we will have to pay our good soldiers (and expensive bad contractors) with IOU's. It's a joke! Or is it?
    The real power in todays global world is with those who own the money and hold the economic powers. That used to be ourselves, but no more. Because of our failed Educational System, we are even losing our famous brain powers fast and depend on importing that, too, from India, China and wherever young kids (and their parents!) recognize that a good education is an absolute "sine qua non" to make it in this highly competitive new global world.
    Wake up USA kids/parents, 2.5 billion Chinese, Indians etc are in line to eat your lunch and make you cook it for them. And most of us can't even do that any more.
    What ever happened to this great Nation of ours since we raised the flag over Iwo Jima?! It wants to make you cry.
