He must have meant getting the corporate influence out of congress.

Good luck with that.

It is I think the primary source of our problems. Special interests have captured the national legislature and the executive.

We are screwed. A corporatist state in the midst of a nation riddled by inane regulations, political correctness, and a culture of entitlement that affects the right and the left, individuals and corporations.

I read somewhere that the federal government's revenues pay 40% of expenses. They rest is financed somehow.

Crazy. Completely unsustainable.

BTW, I don't think that China made a long term plan to suck the US dry, as suggested by the article I posted, because no one could have predicted the easy money policies of Greenspan and Bernanke. They led directly to a huge consumer feast and the increase in China's reserves.

The Chinese leadership is probably surprised by its good fortune. The plan, if any, was a good and reasonable one. It became spectacularly successful when easy money and real estate as an ATM funded their spectacular and I think unanticipated progress.
