We in Canada faced a similar debt crisis in the early 1990's. Our government of the day made the necessary changes to correct the situation. This included spending cuts and a national sales tax. It was very unpopular to say the least, but it saved our bacon. We Canadians are confident your situation will be reversed. It does require the political will to make it happen. It can be done. We know you can do it.

Political will to get things done seems to be almost nonexistent here. You just may have to bail us out!

All you can do is laugh right now since it is so ridiculous!

Old saying.. " If you owe the bank $10,000.00 and cannot pay YOU have a problem... IF you owe the bank $10,000,000.00 and cannot pay the bank has a problem... " in this case the bank is China...

Seann, that is a good analogy.

Thanks Clutch

Did you notice on there that only 1/3 of the people pay taxes...

Time to tell ALL governments to STOP living beyond our means.
