#1 China will be more and more difficult as they believe their power grows. Thomas Sowell has it right. We should declare bankruptcy then our largest creditor China will hear a big sucking sound.

#7 Jimmuh Carter's name is remembered well, for all the wrong reasons. This narcissistic POS is destined to overtake him, I suppose
