I can't believe that we trust the government to take care of us and balance our check-books through government welfare programs when it can't balance its own. :shakes head: And we're starting to get concerned about 3rd world countries, when our own back yard isn't clean. Keep spreading the message. Balance the government! Very Good, Thomas! I can’t believe that we trust the government to take care of us and balance our check-books through government welfare programs when it can’t balance its own. :shakes head: And we’re starting to get concerned about 3rd world countries, when our own back yard isn’t clean.

"Feed the lion to fight the tiger." Cool metaphor. But isn't China usually referred to as a tiger or a dragon, not a lion? So, it would be the other way around, right? I wonder what animal Ancient Persia is referred to? Humm.... There was Daniel in the lions' den in Babylon. And there are references to "the beast" from Babylon, such as the mark of the beast, a more current concern. I would have liked to see some references and links to other articles on this subject. And how many $$ has China loaned to the U.S. Treasury, and other bonds? Surely this information is available somewhere. As for me and my house, we are trying to stay away from marketable securities for this reason, viz. a viz., this Chinese paper nuke as you refer to it. But it is difficult to own real estate in retirement accounts, they are a real hassle there. But warranty deeds are where it is at in my book, or as your younger brother would put it: "Warranty Deeds, YEAH!" I hope Ron Paul can get his message out about this Chinese economic absurdity. But for now, this is the status quo, and until we can effectuate change we are continuing to "feed the tiger to fight the lion", or is it "feed the dragon to fight the beast?" Dad Thomas,

“Feed the lion to fight the tiger.” Cool metaphor. But isn’t China usually referred to as a tiger or a dragon, not a lion? So, it would be the other way around, right? I wonder what animal Ancient Persia is referred to? Humm…. There was Daniel in the lions’ den in Babylon. And there are references to “the beast” from Babylon, such as the mark of the beast, a more current concern.
