There were a couple weird things done by Romney that could have hurt him if Obama hadn't done so poorly. This is definitely the big one. He wants to fire big bird and told an old guy to his face he would fire him. Surely a winning strategy for getting the mom vote or the 50-65 vote. Also the you don't have to listen of you are over 60 part was pretty odd...if he makes gaffes like this again it will catch up with him
Romney said if something is not worth borrowing money from China for, he will not do it. PBS can manage with donations. We cannot afford to leverage ourselves to the hilt so that China can destroy our currency in five or six years.
Big Bird is not the issue.
You do know the % of foreign owned debt owned by China is decreasing. It's down to about 25%. Japan suprisingly is the next biggest holder with 20%. Suprisingly the same people who tried to get the USA worried about Japan in the 1980's are scaremongering again but this time about China.
