Investment in China?

I was watching the news this morning and saw something that made my head explode!!! When informed that this had been going on for awhile, I am in a state of shock and disbelief. I watched an ad on American TV for investment in China. WTF!!!!!!!!!! With all of the economic problems in this country, crumbling infrastructure, unemployment, etc., and a company advocates investing in a foreign country????? Have we lost any sense of what being American means? Is making a dollar so important now, that we will invest it in a COMMUNIST country where the government decides whether you can be rich or not??? This is one of those moments where I wish I could have remained blissfully ignorant!!!

Bocephus - I cop to ignorance and apathy. Guilty as charged!!! I could not agree with you more!!! Said it before, say it again; (D) or (R) doesn't matter, VOTE THEM OUT!!!

Lebanonian - thank you for the post. I'd be interested in knowing what the Chinese investments in the US are. The implication of the ad that I saw is that Chinese investment is for modern infrastructure, energy generation and modern transportation. If the Chinese decide they don't want to pay back the investments are we going to go "repossess"? My outrage is that this country needs the investment dollars to rebuild our infrastructure, energy grid and transportation system. Yet we are sending it to our adversary? How is that possible and other than pure greed, why is it happening?

Here is some food for thought. I heard a report yesteday on the radio that Obama was going to raise 1 billion dollars for his campaign. Some from those in this country that are blind to what is going on. The report stated that it was very possible that 1/3 would come from overeas and was untraceable. That is pretty unbelieveable. We have a a president funed by overseas influence. Whats wrong with the system?

As if the Republicans won't be out there with their maney raising machinery. I say vote them all out. I'd be real interested in where the report above that states Obama is getting 1/3 of his campaign money from overseas. No doubt a propaganda lie. Not that it will be the first. VOTE THEM OUT!!! (D) or (R) doesn't matter which, VOTE THEM OUT!!! These political parties allow capital investment in our adversaries while they screw over Americans!!!

Storm - thanks for the post. Talking about it is the first step. Now we need a plan of action. First things first; do not vote for any member of the Democratic or Republican Party. We will only have real change in this country if we VOTE THEM OUT!!!
