We're in the Red indeed just look at the national checkbook. The way things are going I'm looking forward to our pals the Chinese to call in their paper on us. For whatever reason our owners sold Trillions of bucks worth of our insanely huge debt to our former deadly enemy.

Well anyway what's done is done.
Our fucking balls are now owned by the guys we fought tooth, and nail bayonet to bayonet with all over the damned Korean Peninsula. Look up the Korean War kiddies makes for interesting reading.
Stay Tuned.
Remember when Nixon went to China? That was the first step to where we are now. Just because Beijing is now our loan shark doesn't mean they're exactly our friends. Let's hope they don't dump their U.S. bonds all at once.

I'm studying a foreign language. I still say it's not too late for you to learn Mandarin.
