What a joke.

Editor,

When the ruling class decides not only to make its money selling to the Chinese middle class, but also to move to China, the U.S.A. will be declared a war zone (to make money by fighting a war here) and government services -- especially to the old, the poor, the sick, and children -- will be eliminated entirely.

Did you see the pictures of the infrastructure development going on in China? Here the Republicans "argue" that government spending must be cut to the bone "to reduce the deficit." What a joke. I mean really. What a joke. (Spending on infrastructure increases the GDP and therefore, by simple arithmetic, reduces the deficit as a percent of GDP.)
