isPermaLink="false">http://www.lonelyconservative.com/?p=3963#comment-5641</guid> <description>The hits just keep on com&#039;n.  The Chinese decided to play chicken with us in the South China Sea.  N. Korea is launching a satellite.  Iran will end up with missiles from Russia.  All of them will continue to push us around.  And why not, we have a wimp as the CEO.
On the last day of the Chinese People&#039;s meetings, Leader Wen Jiabo said he&#039;s worried about our debt.  Not that they could not enjoy owning Washington Monument, The Capitol building a few other landmarks, but the real purpose of the comment was to twist the knife.
We can&#039;t pay our debt, we know that and so do the Chinese.  Only solution is inflation.  Cheap money to pay it off, hurts the citizens but gets gov&#039;t out of hot water short term.
Next round China will ask for higher interest, just like at the loan sharks.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hits just keep on com&#8217;n.
