lol left field huh?
where do u get ur info! lol
I dont even know which point to start with.
Your argument is so base, talk about useless rhetoric!
You don't know which point to start with, because you can't prove any of them wrong.
Here, since you're too slow to follow along I'll list where I get this type of info for each point. Try to follow along, and be careful that you don't drool on your keyboard.
1. The 2008 US government budget.

Refer to table S-2. You'll notice that the total Discretionary budget is 929.8 BILLION dollars. Therefore your comment of owing 500 million to China is 0.05% of the 2008 Discretionary Budget. I don't see that as a lot of money, do you? No. Wait. Don't answer that question.
2. This doesn't even deserve a response. If you think the global economies survive without lending to one another, you're beyond my assistance. But here is a little article on US debt, so you can see how it works.

Notice that private investors own more of the US than China. I hope you're learning, I'll try to go slowly.
3. Do wage increases lead to inflation. NO. I hope that this is clear enough for you.

I know its small print, and that your head might hurt trying to process this, but just read the opening summary and you'll get your answer. The summary...you know, that paragraph where they take all the big words you can't seem to grasp and make them smaller so you won't have to google what they mean.
4. This doesn't need a response. I still feel that you're an idiot, that hasn't changed.
5. So you don't think that the housing crisis is the overwhelming factor of our "economic" crisis do you.

That right there is from your best friend Mr. Greenspan.
6. This is common freaking sense, you deserve nothing further on this one.
7. Refer to my above post by your "All knowing" friend Mr. Greenspan. Do a quick search on the economic crisis and not a single professional economist will tell you the Iraq war is the cause of this economic crisis. It doesn't help that we're spending extra money (that I'll admit), but it has nearly zero effect on the current crisis.
8. This still hasn't changed. Now that we've finished our lesson that my 8 year old cousin already understands I'll move to the rest of your post.
My argument is base? Do you even know the definition of the word you just used? You're saying that my argument is "a fundamental principle or groundwork; foundation; basis"? Right, because that makes sense. But if it makes you feel better to use words that don't fit in this context, ok. In fact my post was clearly outlined, and not "base" at all. I outlined my argument in number fashion so you could follow along. Kind of like paint by numbers for incredibly slow people.
Useless rhetoric? Congratulations, you can copy and paste comments from my post that sound intelligent and reuse them. And for my own morbid curiosity, if I'm spouting rhetoric, whose rhetoric is it? As I've posted government documents, links to Democratic leaning news outlets, and your very favorite economy guru, Mr. Greenspan.
You've provided absolutely nothing to this thread except asinine comments like the above. I almost feel like a special education teacher, trying to find different ways of explaining when you know that the handicapped child across from you isn't understanding what you're trying to get across. But patience is a virtue they say.
Now I know how Mullet feels.
