Is Jade Helm coming true in Texas?

I would love hear how China can "call in" US treasuries.

They could threaten to cancel Christmas.

Give him a break. He's exhausted from "doing deals" all day.

What do you do for a living? Do you post on your 15 minute lunch break? In situations like this, the people that personally attack are usually the jealous sort. Just saying.

Not on HROT's watch, they won't. Tin foil hats, boys. Tally-ho and Godspeed!

Except when it's you doing it. Roger.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Why not? That seems like a big loophole.

Why is it that an oversight is a bad thing while oversight is a good thing?

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

We should use the "we are too big to fail" reason and get them to forgive some of the debt.

It's part of the reason they aren't pushing harder to dethrone the dollar as the primary trading currency.

Does this mean debt is actually a peaceful way to control other nations? Maybe that 6% of the budget pie is actually an efficient use of that money?

Yes. But it's a different kind of control. If you owe me money, I can threaten to call in your debt. But I also have a vested interest in not seeing you fail.

As we are told a couple of times a week by some loan shark on a TV cop show, "why would I murder Joe for not making his payment on time? He's no value to me dead."

Depends on the level of debt and how much you are paying back. Greece has no control over anyone.

Greece lacks a lot of parallels to the US.

 

[Hawk in SEC Country]

Oh no! Look out everyone, a bunch of candy asses from Texas are going to succeed. Go ahead and go, but we'll go ahead and continue to take those oil profits.

what a stupid stupid post.

 

[HawktimusPrime]

You have succeeded in not understanding what secede means. When we go we take the profits with us. If you want the candy asses you will have to look elsewhere.

You'll be surrounded by us and make no mistake you need us more than we need you. Good luck.

 

[MichiganManLifer]

what a stupid stupid post.

I had to look back to see what my context was since this was from days ago. Do you support Texas seceding from the union? You didn't think the Texan's post was stupid, just mine?

 

[TexMichFan]

You'll be surrounded by us and make no mistake you need us more than we need you. Good luck.

Thanks.

We will take our chances and see how it turns out. There are only a couple of states that could try it and make it work and Texas is one of them.

The best part is we would be out of the United States foreign policy mess.

Give back your nukes and other USA stuff, and pay your share of the national debt. Then give it a shot.

Will you build a fence between Tejas and the US?

Until the US government takes out your government and installs a regime that wants to come back to the states.

What are you waiting for, sister?

Nope, we are keeping all the stuff.

We will not be building a fence but we will offer free transportation from Mexico to points North.

Won't happen you guys are tired of wars.

 

[TexMichFan]

The price of oil to go up.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Keeping all the stuff will cause a war. If you follow my suggestions, you might be allowed to secede without fighting.

Personally I'd love to see that experiment happen.

 

[ft254]

until they "call in those loans", you know how that works, right?

We'll never have to worry about it.
