People seem to worry incessantly about other countries (esp. China) owning a part of the US national debt. But, what exactly is the concern? What is China going to do? Repossess our car? Hire a collections agent to call us at night? What's the deal?

The Open Door Policy signing in 1899 would trigger lots of trade between the US and China. Since then we have imported a multitude of items from China and it is a vital asset to our economy. China being a communist country, also has had a significant problem with human rights. Many people and groups have called for the democratization of China to ensure equality and be an example to other nations in the area. I believe that any huge governmental, political, or social change is very tough on a country's economy. So if China suddenly pursues the path to democracy rapidly wouldnt that, in turn, hurt the US economy? Everyone wants equal human rights, but would this bring greater good or would the complexity of the situation grow?

I learned is school that the Fed uses 3 primary methods to "guide" the economy. (1) Raise or lower the Fed Funds rate (which is the rate banks pay to borrow money), (2) Raise or lower the Deposit Rate (Which is the percentage of deposit funds that banks must hold on hand in their vaults), and I can't remember (3)... Anybody know this last one?

It seems in the rush to cut costs and make money, American industry has transferred a shocking amount of our industrial and manufacturing capacity to China. What people seems to have to forgotten is that China is NOT our friend or ally. Not exactly an enemy either but certainly a rival that has ambitions of joining, or even replacing the U.S. as a superpower. It seems like most consumer goods and electronics are made there, if hostilities broke out and China launched an embargo against the U.S.; refusing to sell us goods and dropping the dollar, the U.S. economy would implode, costs for everything would skyrocket, and there'd be a new Depression. China would suffer too, but they went it alone for a long time, and could still sell to the rest of the world, using American manufacturing technology no less! Is it wise to put so much of our fate in the hands of a rival?

The supply of apples is determined by the size of orchards, the number of apple trees, and the quantity of apples per tree. The quantity of apples per tree depends on the weather and the amount of fertilizer and pesticides that farmers use. Given all these factors that affect supply, is the long-run supply for apples likely to become more elastic or more inelastic than the short-run supply?
