<How unlikely it would be for China or Japan to dump treasuries it would be MAD>

That is an assumption on your part -- and not a very good one at that. A slowdown in the US economy will make it harder to finance our current debts, and it would add to the rate at which our debts are being incurred. This would happen at the same time as China has less ability to bail us out. If the bailout job becomes too big and if the ability to bail us out grows, the madness is on your part to assume that China can and will continue to play this role. If China can no longer support us then it is MAD to assume they must and will support us.
