Assessing the Beijing Olympics

We happened to drive by Atlanta’s Olympic flame this morning, and someone in the car pointed out how small and puny it looked compared to Beijing’s version. And it surely does.

From China’s point of view, the 2008 Summer Olympics have to be counted a major success. The Games went off without a hitch, the Chinese Olympic team did very well in competition and the world got a taste of what China can accomplish when it sets its mind to something.

But as others have pointed out, where did the Chinese get the money for the Bird’s Nest and its other spectacular venues? The answer is by selling us the shirts we wear on our backs, the plasma TVs hanging on our walls, the shoes we put on our feet and the electronics we plug into our walls. A significant wealth transfer has been underway for the past 10 years, and we saw the fruits of that on NBC.

For those who paid attention, we also saw the Chinese government’s absolute firm grip on power, tolerating nothing that might be perceived as dissent. That apparent “unity of mind” gives China certain economic, political and military advantages, but it brings challenges as well.

I should also mention a point made in the new movie “IOUSA.” In 1956, the British, French and Israelis seized control of the Suez Canal from Egypt, over the strong opposition of the United States. However, President Eisenhower quickly forced the British to withdraw and surrender control of the canal by threatening to dump large U.S. reserves of British currency, an act that would have crippled the pound and Britain’s economy.

Today, 45 percent of our massive national debt is held by foreigners in the form of dollars. Japan holds the most, followed by China and then Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing states. If we continue to borrow so heavily from other nations, we could surrender a potentially dangerous degree of our own autonomy.

It’s not a complete loss for US businesses though — just US workers. Remember that the executives at the big US businesses that have been able to cut US jobs in favor of imports from China, etc., have been rewarded with millions and millions for their successes. The only thing left now is to let them have those millions and millions tax free. Now, bend over you little Republicans out there and take the rest of your medicine.

As ugly as our french fry box looking torch is, it also looked much bigger when it was looming over the stadium and lit.

Buying goods and services isn’t a transfer of wealth, it’s commerce. It’s no more true when T. Boone says it about oil than it is when buying shirts and televisions.

It’s just commerce when talking about shirts, shoes, and electronics from China, etc. But it’s keeping the money in the US when it comes to drilling another hole for oil. Some people want it both ways. With higher transportation costs, some US businesses are talking about setting up shop closer to home such as in Mexico. It’s not taxes that drove US businesses off shore.

Did anybody point out that they were probably burning oil in the Chinese torch, if not human fat, which would be taboo in the fever swamps here in Atlanta?

And yes, we get nothing in return from the Chinese, blah, blah, blah, it’s not like our standard of living has increased tenfold or anything.

And I’m sure they could economically cut their own throats by dumping the dollar, why, thee all powerful Yen would carry thee day right to the mass starvation and financial ruin.

This is for those who care and for those liberals who claim that China really owns the majority of our national debt as has been posted on this blo and others many times. That said, for those interested in facts, here’s the rundown, and always remember that liberals will not tell you the entire truth when making a point. These figures are a year old, but you’ll get an idea of the bigger picture.

Who owns the National Debt in order:

US government: $3.5 trillion (yeah, that’s widda T) US citizens: $2.8 trillion Japan: $640 billion China: $320 billion Brits: $180 billion

And on down from there.

When you look at the pie, between the US and the government, only 27% of our debt is owned by ALL foreigners, from China down to the Polish. But, like I’ve always said, it doesn’t take much effort to be a liberal.

You will also note that liberals will not relate the % of GDP to the national debt either.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefly evacuated from her downtown Denver hotel on Saturday when a man carrying two hunting rifles and two pistols tried to check in to the hotel.

Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said 29-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyo., faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon after police officers at the Sheraton hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case while checking in.

He was hiding his gun in a gun case!

China bashing is free.

China is a blessing to the USA. On average, for one dollar of merchandise sold, China only makes 5 cents. USA, Japan, Korea etc doing out sourcing and import export makes the other 95 cents. Then China loan us money at low interest rates. Save more money for US consumers.

USA as a nation was build on genocide against native amerricans and discriminations against blacks, chinese and other people of color. Now, many are fumed with jealousy about China’s success. Any things they do are not apprciated but met with attack.

This is not a good way to recover. We need to work hard, word smart and save some money i.e. not just spending money. But most importantly, be a good guy; don’t be a shameless racist.

“You will also note that liberals will not relate the % of GDP to the national debt either,” writes Rufus.

We won’t? Sure we will.

For example, here is the national debt as a percentage of GDP in the last budget year of each presidency:

Jimmy Carter: 32.6 percent of GDP

Ronald Reagan: 53.1 percent of GDP

George H.W. Bush: 66.2 percent of GDP

Bill Clinton: 57.4 percent of GDP

George W. Bush: 66.2 percent of GDP (estimated).

The source is the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Now, anybody see a pattern there? Rufus is wrong about liberals not walking to talk about the debt as a percentage of GDP, but he may have a small point: We certainly need to do it more often.

This week, thousands of Americans from across the country will gather in Denver at the Democratic National Convention to nominate our next president of the United States: Barack Obama.

Drawn by Obama’s inspirational message of change and committed to moving our nation in a new direction, these Americans will take time off from work and family, and often spend their own money to travel to Colorado for this historic convention. In so doing, we will help write the next great chapter in our nation’s history.

Yeah.

Hi Jay. I was wondering if you actually read these blogs.

Anyway, I’m not sure where you got your info from, but my info from the OMB says that the average between 1994 and 1997 was at 48% or so, and between 2005 and 2007 it hovered around 37%.

I’m looking at the data right in front of me. I would link it, but I can’t. Keep in mind I am referring to the publicly held debt ratio. I’m not sure what you are referring too.

Oh good, I see that we have gassed up the National Debt Scare Mobile and are out careening around in it.

One must assume that Dhimmy Carter’s numbers were included because somebody considers him to be the last “responsible” president that held office.

I, on the other hand, just fondly think back to what a boom time it was during Dhimmy’s malaise, what with the 70% income tax rate and all.

Isn’t it amazing that the libs have been trotting out the Debt Monster for over 35 years and the shoe has yet to drop on the economy?

Gee Management, back in the day conservatives used to get upset by the deficit and debt too. Remember Newt and the Balanced Budget Amendment? Ah, those were good times, huh?

COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER — Dawud Ummah is hoping to see a different message.

He wants a change from what he calls the evangelism and condemnation in many of today’s faiths, and he said he hopes today’s democrat party interfath gathering here will point to a new way.

“I would like to hear what they’re going to talk about,” said Ummah, a Muslim leader in a University of Maine interfaith community, “whether this can heal some wounds or be another Christian singing, gospel, evangelizing [event]. … I can’t take much more of that.”

He wants to come together and “heal the wounds” as long as you’re not a Christian.

Well Jay, considering that both Democrats and Republicans have squandered SS and both parties continue to pour our money into lost causes, I figured that publicly held debt was a better barometer of America’s debt situation. I only say that because I constantly hear the left whine about us living beyond our means (going into debt) by buying things at Wal Mart made in China) yet I never hear them complain about increased funds for SS and Medicare and whatnot.

The last thing these new age Republicans, of the “compassionate conservative Bush label” should be accused of is being fiscally conservative or fiscally responsible for that matter. Of course, they are very liberal when it comes to pandering for a vote but that’s nothing new. Heck, the Republican party couldn’t even pick a presidential candidate that’s a true conservative.

Bush’s Time Horizon to Surrender

I guess the Terrorists won, I mean, if you believed one word Bush or Cheney has uttered since 911.

What a surrender monkey Bush and Cheney turned into.

Seems a shame. If Bush had done nothing and let McCain escalate that damnable war and maybe achieve a regional spread of that war, then who knows how much money the defense industry and the Saudis would make. What a waste, eh?

Well, Surrender Monkey Bush and the Timeline to Surrender prevails.

The terrorists won. I feel really bad about it. I hope it’s not true that all those troops died in vain, like Bush said if he would ever agree to a surrender timeline like he just did.

Conservatives must distance themselves from Bush and Cheney now. This is a little too much.

The Beijing Olympics. One name: Nastia

She’s Venus in Beijing. Mona Lisa with a pony tail. A teenage godess from above and she belongs to us.

The chinese cheated in the olympics. The judges were picked for their inexperience. A seasoned judge would have not awarded one single medal to any of the 12 year olds on the Chinese team. They had too many balance checks on the beam, why, they looked like they’d topple at any moment. Contrast that with Shawn Johnson’s solid as a rock performances. Once, a chinese preteen actually fell off the balance beam. Her score was not too much lower than Shawn Johnson’s score during the same round. The chinese prepubescents were cute, but not eligible for Women’s Gymnastics.

The baton droppings. Rare as Bigfoot droppings. But lightning struck twice on the men’s and the women’s US relay team, in a million to one catastrophe for the ages. The one girl said, “Someone has a voodoo doll against the USA.” She said that because it was a Jamaican sweep of the relay races. I was embarrassed for America when she said that.

Can’t wait for the Olympics to be over. I was going to spend a quiet evening at home watching a movie, but thought I’d check the television listings first.

Well, confirming what I just said yesterday, the airways are already retching up what I call - “The Dead Kennedy Perspectives”. It is election season, you know. For the second time in 3 nights we are being blessed with the movie “Kennedy” starring Martin Sheen. The Discovery Channel has the second of two parts on the ‘magic bullet’ that killed JFK. It’s hard to keep down your dinner when this stuff flashes up on the screen. You can’t make this up.

I will wager (without even looking ahead at this weeks TV schedule…I dropped the Urinal months ago so don’t get it in print anyway) any amount of cyber money anyone wants that we in the Atlanta area will have at least 3 dead Kennedy’s on TV this week…..got to have some fill time between the DNC lovefests in Denver.

Have to agree with Jay on this one. Well the part about the debt, I didn’t watch any of the Olympics. I don’t really care if it’s a Democrat or a Republican who mortgages us away; it’s gonna be painful just the same. But some folks don’t care as long as they are making money and saving on comsumer goods right now. Worry about the future when it gets here.

Three or four years ago I had to buy a TV. Would loved to buy one that was US made but as far as I know they don’t exist. I bought a $237, 27 inch TV and I can watch the same programs as somebody with a Plasma TV that cost $$$$$.

And remember when Sam Walton prided himself on selling goods made in America. Sam didn’t exactly die a poor man but I guess the Walton kids wanted lots more. I remember seeing a TV program (History channel I think) about J C Penney. As long as he maintained control of the company Mr. Penny wouldn’t issue store credit cards. Said it encouraged people to spend money they didn’t have. My how times have changed.

Will a “debt burden” of 40% (publicly-held debt %GDP) bankrupt our grandkids? How about 80%, or 120%? Oops, wait a minute, 120% debt is what my grandparents’ generation bequeathed to their future grandkids in 1946. Well, I became one of those grandkids, and here we are sixty years later: not only has the debt failed to eat us alive, but we’ve run it back down to 40% of GDP—not because we reduced the debt, but because we grew the economy.

Debt is always “inherited” from the previous party; surpluses are always “squandered” by the subsequent party. Polarization is what politics has been all about, and politics is what the deficit/debt debate has been all about. It won’t change any time soon.

Jimmy Page was pretty cool and was a great Olympics. USA kicked butt.

Obama flipped flopped on Florida and Michigan to allow all votes.

Should be fun.

Wonder what the gop theme will be?

POW, of course.

Do one’s best to become rich is just the right thing to do. No one can become rich without hard work. The fortune created in China is a result of millions of thousands hard work by normal Chinese. We wish everyone be rich based one their own work. The world will become more hopeful.

Grading Wooten: Class warfare? You mean the war between the haves and the half-wits? Which 1RU?

“The U.S. is now losing the war against the Taliban,” Anthony Cordesman, of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote in a report Thursday. A resurgent al-Qaida could soon follow, Cordesman warned.-Urinal/Jihad

The United States is just one small part of the fighting force in Afghanistan, a fighting force called “the world.”

The same “world” the dimwitocrats want us to blindly follow and mimic.

Especially the “losing” part.

Make no mistake, we kill Taliban at a 20 to 1 ratio, even the world gets them at least 7 to 1, this is a bad thing?

He called for the U.S. to treat Pakistani territory as a combat zone if Pakistan does not act.

What’s up with all the war mongering, Urinal, trying to engulf the world in a nuclear holocaust?

And isn’t it amazing that the enemies of America know exactly when to increase their attacks, timing them to coincide with the Dhimmocrat convention, where they know they will get the maximum left wing propaganda?

It’s almost like they are working together, the dems and the terrorists.

It’s the same playbook both of them had in Iraq:

Karzai admitted last week that Afghanistan still lacks a properly functioning government and corruption is rampant. He said he will run for a second term next year in hopes of addressing those problems, blah, blah, blah.-Urinal/Jihad

~~~~~

Last week the global warming hysteritics at the Urinal predicted no rain from Fay, now, three days later-

Fay remnants may dent drought-Urinal/PMS

And Jay, Florida just got 30 inches of rain or more, the timing of your new column?

~~~~~

Look at all the goony photos of the dhimmwit convention participants in this week’s Urinal/DNC and remember them when the Repugs are all cast as gloomy and thugs in next week’s Urinal/DNC.

Kiblen told me that argument didn’t matter to her, because she was voting for McCain merely as a protest vote. “It isn’t about Hillary anymore,” she said. “It’s about sexism and the way they treated her.” She also noted that Obama was “tanking in the polls” and she complained about his big ego.

She was dining with a fellow disgruntled Clinton supporter from North Carolina, who she met while registering at the convention offices of P.U.M.A. (a group of Clinton dead-enders which alternatively stands for People United Means Action or Party Unity My A*).

Celebration of Olympics Bronzes

What happened? How can we lose gold count to China, a third world country? Let’s have a national holiday of mourning. No one objects I bet! Let’s have a national contest of the best excuses of winning so less gold medals. It has to be the BEST, so it could worth a gold in this category.

What to do? Borrow more money from China to buy foreign coaches… No Speedo to Australia and China. My secret weapon is to import 8 Jamaican runners. Money talks! Bribe the judges (a little harder as everyone hates us but money talks again). Change all the rules to our favor: 5 medals for basketball, 1 for table tennis, 0 for diving… All tiebreakers must go our way as our sponsors own the Olympics. We will amplify their “shortcomings”: Copying our advance lip sing technique, working too hard, starting before you can walk… The Chinese must have put slippery jell on our batons and/or the gym apparatus. Develop a dope that can take out all dope traces from our body. “One country, all medals” is our new Olympics slogan. The more wishfully we think, the closer we succeed.

How to heal now, really? Write to Dear Abby for starter. Bronze is the same as gold if not better. If you do not believe me, ask any blind person. It is harder to get a bronze as we have to LET two others to win. We’ll train our athletes for the bronze from now on. NBC should interview bronze winners only as they are the real winners. Actually we’ll be happier to be #3 and build a better relationship with other nations. Stop laughing. It is a fact!!! Phelps, we love you more with 8 bronze medals - it is no easy job to let 2 and ONLY 2 pass you 8 times.

If everything does not work, turn ugly. Ask McDonald’s and KFC to give away their “food” (better than opium) to China FREE, so their next generation will be so fat that they cannot walk to the subway station. Send soldiers to grab the medals, esp. gold. Hey, we have the best offense. Will the world be better if we only fought for gold medals only (bronze medals in our case)? What an Olympic spirit to celebrate the winning of the bronze!

The U.S. was right to threaten dumping the pounds, forcing the British, French, and the Israelis to withdraw from the Suez Canal. These countries had no right to be in Egypt to extend their colonial power over the darker skin people of the world.

Here is hoping that foreign control of our national debt will also force us to do the right thing, curbing our draconian foreign policy and colonial control of Middle East interests.
