China wants to cash in all that debt we owe them.

Tell them to pound sand. Of course that would be the end of foreign
financing our deficits, but that would be a good thing. We'd finally
have to get our fiscal house in order.

So you're ok with being required to purchase a $15,000 policy or go to
jail? Be fined? Have 2.5% of your income confiscated for
"insurance"? 111 new departments to manage the paperwork? $200
million dollars to pay off vetinarian medical school loans? Medical
effectiveness (read "death panels") policy?

You're ok with all that, but you think we should get our fiscal house
in order?

How about we just leave things alone instead of spending $1.2 trillion
dollars over the next eight years instead.
