Now that our country is so far in debt to China and Japan, we may want to change some lifestyle behaviors.?

Question

I'm thinking starting off with getting rid of knives, forks and spoons and maybe taking our shoes off when entering a house would be a good start...and hey...the latter is just good manners too.

Answer 1

Both countries played games with the value of the dollar. Japan did it in the 1980's. And China is doing it much worse right now. India is all playing with the value of the dollar.

When Japan did in the 1980's it transferred a large portion of the U.S.'s wealth to Japan. In the 1980's Japan's yen was trading as low as 250 to one dollar. Just not too long ago the number was around 110 to one dollar.

Playing games with the dollar is the fastest way to get rich since the U.S. is the richest country on the planet.

Wealth is created by making things. America has made and invented most of the modern stuff in the world. That includes the microwave oven, television, plasma TVs, optical recording (DVD & CDs), video games, cellphone, electric oven, clothes washers and dryers, hair dryer, computer chip, personal computer, laptop computer, digital audio player, digital camera, computerized medical equipment, hard drive, digital tuning radio, digital radio, etc, etc, etc..

Those countries basically steal our country's "wealth making capabilities" by devaluing their own currencies.

Answer 2

As Americans we have to give up nothing
Though aid to the third world should be given up
let nature take its course the strong will survive and they either adapt or die

Answer 3

I think I'll just keep in mind the far GREATER amounts that is owed the U.S. from countries around the world.

We are VERY far from being a debtor nation, thank you.

Answer 4

We already buy more of their cars then we buy our own and eighty percent of our toys are made in China. What else do they want?

Answer 5

hahahahahahaha,like to see them collect it!
