Confessions of an Economic Hitman?

Who else sees the correlation with China's actions here in the U.S. as with what is purported in this book? In summary the book claims (and the claims fall in place with current events) that the U.S. has "consulting" corporations whose sole niche is to enslave other countries by offering them help in building infrastructure, securing them loans to achieve them as long as they go through American engineering and construction companies, inflate the interest on the loans to the point they WILL go into bankruptcy, then take the project over and continue to accrue interest so it will never be paid off. China is making loans to us that we will never be able to pay off so we can buy more of their crap, then threaten us that it will dump our currency on the global market to devalue it, therefor making our money more worthless than what it already is. Looks like American business is losing at it's own game.

America is falling apart. It is terrible and no longer the symbol of freedom or a chance for a better life. America has been the most powerful country for a long time and now it's time to come off of the pedestal. When I lived in America I thought "Wow, the world hates us." Now I can see why.

It's filled with idiots for one thing, including Mr. Bushface.

The way I see it is if America would worry about what is happening here and here alone we could make stronger nation for ourselves but everything is about politics anymore,China will always be a threat to us and so will alot of other countries but if we were to make our country safer then when they did try something stupid we would be ready for it,we don't owe them anything what happened in history happened and it can't be changed but what happens in the future can change and we have to be the one too change it.

We're well on our way to becoming a middle-of-the-pack, half-asssed country for the very reason you mentioned, as well as a host of other factors such as political correctness, liberalism, lack of border security, etc.
