        Why do you think that the national debt in the hands of Chinese and/or Japanese investors is a bad thing? - Scott Evil - 12/7/2005 8:29:14 PM
        
        They are getting close to holding enough of our debt that they can dictate terms. - alcaray - 12/7/2005 10:11:41 PM

        Doesn't have anything to do with balance of trade, either. - alcaray - 12/7/2005 11:53:06 PM
        
        Their ownership of US government notes has everything to do with the balance of trade. - Scott Evil - 12/8/2005 3:18:05 PM
