    Once we are too broke to buy their cheap stuff or develop our technologies that they can steal, you better believe the would shut that bad boy in a heart beat. For now we serve a great purpose for them just like a trophy wife/husband once they are no longer giving you what you need, that prenup kicks in :tongue:

    This and they only own a small fraction of our total debt. Our debt is actually well-diversified, so when we eventually default we'll piss the whole world off, not just China!

    The most likely scenario is that we tell them to go **** off when we can't pay for Medicare and Medicaid anymore... which is what Millennials should really be concerned about.
