I thought the same thing, i mean these people moan that we are over there to steal their resources, so do they think Bush is so stupid as to end up spending 2.4 trillion & not get atleast double back in oil? Which is it, US are making money or losing it?

Ok... China is sending cheap goods to our country via cheap labor... We are raising minimum wage; which will send more jobs overseas... China's oil supply is continually growing... We owe large amounts of money to them... Why is no one taking this seriously?
while other countries have held enormous levels of american debt the fact that the Chinese hold so much....and we have a dynamic relationship with them with areas of wide agreement and disagreement. The areas of conflict are the ones wherein the amt of debt they hold could present problems down the line.
