Poll question: Bush should just borrow a few hundred $Billion dollars more from China... |
|
...and give everyone a debit card. I mean really what the heck. At this stage of the game what difference is a few more $Billion added to the federal deficit? We are bankrupt anyway might as go out with a bang.

With the jobs they will have at below the current minimum wage, it will only take a few centuries to pay back. :sarcasm:

Let's say China decides to call us out on our debt to them, and being unable to pay, we default, what the hell is the collateral?

6. There is no collateral |
|
The only way we could pay would be to turn the printing presses on 24/7. That would probably create hyperinflation, but the dollar would plummet and there would be chaos in China.

If the boat is filling with water and sinking fast, and a lone DUer is bailing with a Dixie cup, and the group of FR guys next to him all take a pee...
The interest payments alone will consume the entire federal budget long before then anyway.
