I, For One, Welcome Our Chinese Banker Overlords

October 8th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Although the Chinese government keeps the exact data secret, it’s reasonable to believe that the United States now owes communist China $1.5 trillion. That’s an average of $6,000 owed per American.

We are in some deep shit. Why We Worry links to a James Fallows, Atlantic article that breaks it down.

    1.5 trillion bucks.
    300 million Americans
    thats 5,000 each

    But with 1,330,000,000 Chinese

    Each one of us owes 4.433 Chinese 1130 each.

    Tell them to stand in line.
    With a spacing of 2 feet, they would stretch over 500,000 miles. Or 20 times around the circumference of the Earth.

    They have a hell of a theme song, Nemski. But honestly, I kept expecting someone to get bayoneted in the back of the neck.

    When you owe the bank $1000, they own you. When you owe them $1,000,000 you own them.

    Not only are they good marchers, but they are all the same height. How can we compete with that?

    And they’re all about a foot and a half taller than Costas. No wonder he doesn’t think we can compete.
