How to Repay China?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just wondering how we are even going to be able to repay China, being trillions of dollars in debt (which is likely to rise quickly to bazillions or kajillions of dollars), especially since raising taxes is out of the question.

Should we just give them Alaska, Hawaii, and maybe California, and hope that they will then pardon us our debt? Or, better still, maybe Texas?

Or, should we just print more currency (as they did in Zimbabwe), and pay them back tomorrow?

Don't pay them and nationalize anything they have here and see how they like it

If China loans our fathers money and forces us to pay it back, isn't it a bit like they are teaming up on us? In that case, America wouldn't be victimizing China; both America and China would be victimizing our generation. I think China needs to keep this in mind.

If we do need to make a loan to pay them back, then I suggest we not squander it on gambling like we did before.

All China has to do is stop lending the USA money and see what happens.

Those sly Chinese...

We can always pay them back the American way.... with a giant nuclear bomb!

I still say that we should annex that underpopulated wasteland to our north, then sell it off piecemeal to the Chinese, or maybe even just sell the timber rights. That right there aught to take care of most of the debt, and to make up the difference we should give them the McDonald's franchise rights for Asia, the Colonel's secret spice blend, and the formula for Coke (or maybe Pepsi, all the really lazy people I know drink Pepsi...). THAT should put a dent in their economic growth, in a few years all those formerly industrious Chinese laborers will be sitting around eating cardboard food bitching about how the North Korean illegals take all the good jobs and the only place that's hiring is Mao*Mart...

Invade Taiwan and exchange it for your debt

Second thoughts you'll probably stuff that up and get your butts kicked AGAIN

Well? Why aren't the Republicans, who were so supportive of the Bush deficits, chiming in with something? Did you really think that it would never be a problem, and that we would never have to pay it back?

Of course, we have more guns than any other country in the world. Just let them try to come and get their money back.

Or is the idea that we will borrow from India to pay back China, and then borrow from Nigeria to pay back India, and then borrow from Chad to pay back Nigeria?

There have been several instances in which third world countries have been crippled by debt to the IMF and other organizations. The world has taken pity on them and much of the debt has been forgiven. This is characteristic of third world countries with corrupt and inefficient governments and has become their hallmark. It is now evident that the USA has entered that category.

I can see it now... they'll devalue the currency, pay china back in crisp new dollars, then announce a new currency, trade old dollars for new one for one for US citizens only, everyone else trades 1,000,000 for one...

We could sell all our politicians into slavery, but I doubt if any of them could do any productive work.
