Mitt Romney says he would cut all programs that required the U.S. to borrow from China, including PBS -- even though he's a fan of Big Bird.

But he also wants a war with Iran. Do the math, bush borrowed to lie us into war, Romney will do the same.

The FEDs hold 93% of our debt and since the banks own the FEDs I'd say the taxpayers have been ripped off since 1913 when they formed the FED and Congress gave them the right to print money. Talk about the biggest scheme in our nation's history! Someday America will wake up!
China, just like everyone else who holds our Treasury Bonds, Bills and Notes, buys from the Primary Dealers, mostly the largest 30 or so financial institutions, mostly US based, who bid at.the regular Treasury Auctions. The holders of our Treasuries.....including China...can buy and sell them in the open market any time they want. Bonds mature in 20 years or more from date of issuance....then they have to be paid back...Notes mature in 10 years or less and Bills are short-term usually 90 days. Paid back to China or anyone else.....so Yes, we do borrow from China.....

America needs to cut out a lot of programs like foreign aid, the United Nations, Nafta, to just name a few. Why are we sending money to countrys that take our money and then hate us anyway? The United Ntions is a joke. Another case of America being hated, but we foot the bills. Nafta, even Ross Perot stated about the giant ******* sound as our jobs left America. Just these entitys I mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg.
