The powerful response is contempt and disdain....If you even respond it means you have acknowledged there is a problem.

"Japan should write-off its holdings of Treasuries because the U.S. government will struggle to finance increasing debt levels needed to dig the economy out of recession".

This brings some interesting points:

Is "money" really "money" ?

Can it can be erased just like that, "poof" ?

Is Japan still paying for the due to lessen the war
liabilities / images, such as the "mini" nanking massacre
vs the hollocust ?
