Discussion Groups / English Usage / May 2009America Is China
America is China. Seems the Newspeak these days with Obama having sold America to China. An opening paragraph from a news article, The H1N1 virus has spread to China killing a third person in the United States, state media reported on Monday. http://www.examiner.com/x-3226-LA-Top-News-Examiner~y2009m5d11-Third-US-man-dead -in-China-from-new-flu  SignaturePurl Gurl -- This is to the native American poster who I believe to be a woman, but for some reason is gotten up like Groucho Marx: Excuse me? -- Margo Howard, 11/19/2008 >America is China.

Perhaps the writer of the report is delirious from the flu. SignaturePeter Duncanson, UK (in alt.usage.english) Peter Duncanson wrote: >> America is China.

Dynamic trends are significantly more telling than are static statistics. March 2008 foreign ownership, China 490 billion Japan 597 billion February 2009 foreign ownership, China 744 billion Japan 661 billion You will note those figures are only good to the month Obama sat down in the Oval Office and began masturbating his bloated ego, the month of February. The most significant increase in ownership of America by China began right after the November elections when Obama and his socialist left liberals swept the elections. http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt I understand General Motors is to be renamed Government Motors and cars produced will sport an engraved center steering wheel horn button depiction of Mao Tse-tung, a smiling Mao Tse-tung. >> An opening paragraph from a news article, >> The H1N1 virus has spread to China killing >> a third person in the United States, state >> media reported on Monday. >> http://www.examiner.com/x-3226-LA-Top-News-Examiner~y2009m5d11-Third-US-man-dead -in-China-from-new-flu > That is nonsense.

I've plotted a graph of the figures for China. China's ownership of the US grew at an increasing rate from June 2008 until October 2008. The curve started becoming flatter in November 2008. The rate of increase has been decreasing from Nov 2008 on. Perhaps the Chinese "communists" are less enthusiastic about buying "socialist" America than they were about buying capitalist America. Or maybe there is another reason. SignaturePeter Duncanson, UK (in alt.usage.english) > >America is China.

Be glad that others are stupid enough to want the junk. (In fact they don't want to. They are forced to take it because they need to export to the USA) Jan |
