Actually the Chinese have had it with us, although you won't hear that on the news. China has already notified the US that it will no longer "buy" our long term debt loads.

I've always felt if anyone had the ability to knock us down to a second tier nation and lead the world themselves, it was the Chinese. If they are indeed playing a long term chess game here, checkmate is not that many moves away. You won't hear that on the news either.....can't spook the herd yah know. But it's happening......

And yes, in these times, raising taxes and govt. spending is a recipe for failure. The stakes this time as opposed to other times are the stakes....we are all in with this hand. So tell me, who has the better hand?

Honestly.....
