I'm sure the Chinese will lend us another trillion or so. After all, we're on such good terms these days!

It's just "mad money" for the Chinese.

All the while that Trump wants to buy Greenland ,the Chinese are buying up Africa.

Because of the labour shortages in China, perhaps?

Like I've said before "time to learn Cantonese". Pretty soon they will own Canada.
No, it's Mandarin, around here. The Cantonese from Honk Kong can be kind of fun and cool. The Mandarin from the People's Republic are just waiting for the right moment to round us all up and put us in death camps.

That would be such a awaste. We could feed a few of them.

U.S. deficit to soar by $800 billion more than expected over 10 years because of budget deal,
emergency border spending, CBO says

A two-year budget deal struck between lawmakers and the White House will help push the nation into levels of debt unseen since the end of World War II, the Congressional Budget Office said. The office added that the effect of higher trade barriers could hurt economic growth.

Sure, only an idjit would ignore the fact that the fed didn't raise rates during the O'bummer regime, but they are trying to do that now under trump, which as predicted, is killing the economy ( that's why they didn't raise them under the schtool obama) so the central bankers can scoop up the detritus cheep after the crash...just like they always do.
