Max Keiser, please explain how the Chinese government can come up with the money to buy up the US treasuries.

When people talk about the large trade deficit between the US and China, it’s not the US consumers dealing directly with the Chinese government. The US companies are dealing with Chinese companies. The Chinese government get a fraction of that money from taxes on those business transactions. This tax revenue minus the Chinese government’s expenses is what is left over for investing in US treasuries. However, considering that the Chinese government has it’s own stimulus package, I wouldn’t think, the surplus (if any) of the Chinese government is enough to keep purchasing the US treasuries.

Speaking of interest payments on the US Debt, back in 2004-2005 I put some signs on the back of my truck to give the numbers…

You’d be surprised how many fellow Americans came up to me and thanked me for spilling the beans. A few people left notes of thanks as well. Of course, that was in California.

@daniel s.
alex jones is just a person. he can’t always be right.
however he does provide a lot of useful information.
just like with any other source of info, each one of us should check the info out for ourselves. in that way we can avoid following other people’s agendas. jones is still better than MSM.

@ Mike/Liverpool,
Re: your link – You gonna be moving to Costa Rica then Mike?

Did you notice how it covered what other countries were likely to do but made the point that the UK would in all likelihood be left out in the cold (ie. when Europe makes an alliance with Russia)?
Difficult to know whether to stick around don’t you think?

@Photoception,
Don’t forget that the last French Rovolution was financed by the same oligarchs (their ancestors) as we have today. I assume they got something out of it and that’s the point. They tend to get involved in everything so that the outcome will be favourable to them.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could,
and should, do for themselves.
