If America turns communist, the world will be hell. I wouldn't want to live in such a world. America used to be a freedom-loving country, much like Canada once was.

It is a frightening time for them, and I see a civil war brewing in the next 50 or so years. Same with in Canada.

When you look at it since America owes most of their money to communist China, communism is not that bad after all.

This has probably been pointed out in this thread, but the US doesn't owe most of its debt to China.

Frankly, I'm baffled as to why China gets so much attention in discussions about US national debt. The last time I checked, yeah the Chinese government was the US's largest foreign government debtor, but they own just slightly more US debt than does the Japanese government own.

Foreign-owned debt is a minority of the total US debt.

I can only assume that China gets singled out as a rhetorical device, as a kind of boogieman.

There has even been serious policy proposals of opening up the sale of US Treasury bonds to other countries like Kuwait or the UAE.
