Pointless bravado
News item:
In the first place, Obama knows that China owns us, and China knows that China owns us. In such a relationship the absolute master can afford to let the miserable slave make empty complaints. Talk is cheap.
In the second place, it's not up to China to "create a level playing field". Before 1970 we didn't need to worry about the international playing field. Plenty of cheap labor was available elsewhere, as it has always been available. But before 1970 American corporations CHOSE NOT TO USE CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR.
We've always imported some raw materials when they weren't available here, and we've always exported some products when export was advantageous to America. But primarily we built things here and paid actual money to the workers who built things here. This allowed the workers who built things here to buy things here.
The problem now is entirely within America, not within China. "American" corporations have turned into treasonous traitorous disloyal motherfucking America-hating bastards, and the Gaian Occupation Government has supinely served their treason.
China wouldn't have become a problem if "American" corporations had remained loyal to America. ¶ 2:56 AM
Using some of his toughest language yet against China, Obama - a day after face-to-face talks with President Hu Jintao - demanded that China stop "gaming" the international economic system and create a level playing field for U.S. and other foreign businesses.
