Maybe this person should be another potential Secretary of State.

Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to Donald Trump, defended the President-elect’s recent call with the president of Taiwan, saying in a local radio interview that he didn’t care if it upset China.

“Taiwan is our ally,” Moore said in a radio interview Monday on the Big John and Ray Show on WLS AM890. “That is a country that we have backed because they believe in freedom. We oughta back our ally, and if China doesn’t like it, screw ’em.”

      Well have you heard how much money they make off of them? Ask cheney about Halliburton, you will be blinded by his huge grin.

        billions. yeah, and they’re disgusted with people making minimum wage getting healthcare and feeding their families.

        • Suzanne McFly December 7th, 2016 at 12:53

          And the fact they believe a person can live off $7.25/hr is sick.

            there was this woman once who had bank ok, and of course like many who fell for Madoff, she need more, invested everything she had, lost it all and then cried that she now has to eat at McDonalds. you’re absolutely right when you said in the Rove article, it doesn’t matter when it happens to someone else, then it happened to them.

              I find it hard to feel bad when it happens to one of them.

            • Suzanne McFly December 8th, 2016 at 14:38

              I bet that is rump’s end game for America.

        that depends on who the victor is.

        all China has to do is continue trading with the other 97.8% of the world while ignoring the US.

        • Suzanne McFly December 7th, 2016 at 12:59

          Yeah, China could hurt us right now if they wanted to.

    “Screw China”?…
    We owe China about 1.157 Trillion dollars….
    I wonder how they feel about Steven Moores suggestion that Trump “screws them”…
    There is no international bankruptcy court Trump can run to….

    China is in a position to crush our economy because they carry so much of our debt.
    Let’s not forget that economics brought the Soviet Union to it’s knees…..it wasn’t a war.
    These republicans and their ignorant arrogance are extremely dangerous.

      Chinese federal debt holdings (approx $1.3t) could be paid back entirely as soon as tomorrow by the Fed simply transferring already existing dollars that the Chinese hold in securities accounts at the Fed directly back to China’s reserve (checking) account. This process means the debt “owed” to China would be paid off in its entirety, immediately.

      Federal debt is nothing more than savings accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank. Just like any bank that has growing account $$$ balances, growing account balances (growing debt) at the Federal Reserve Bank in no way burdens anyone, including the federal government and any current/future taxpayer.

      1. US federal taxpayers do not pay for federal debt.
      2. The primary reason China holds a massive quantity of US federal debt is because we buy tons of stuff from them with US DOLLARS. China wishes to take those dollars they earn from exports and INVEST those US DOLLARS in an interest earning savings account at the largest, safest bank in the world: The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States of America.

        Except that we paid $223 billion, or 6 percent of the federal budget, on interest in 2015. And that will only go up.

        • SteveD December 6th, 2016 at 19:39

          1. “Go up” means more interest income for the economy, which is a STIMULUS. (The Fed sets the interest rate floor, NOT the “market.”) Higher interest rates are a 100% NON-PROBLEM for our Monetarily Sovereign federal government.

          2. The federal government can pay any sized debt denominated in US dollar$, no taxes or borrowing involved, ever. Your federal tax dollar payments do not pay for any federal spending, they completely DISAPPEAR from the money supply as a matter of accounting.

          3. The limit to federal deficit spending is an unacceptable level of inflation. The federal govt. has several methods to prevent too much inflation. Guess what is the primary one? Right! Federal tax payments-which once again, REDUCE the money supply. Thanks for your interest, Larry

    • amersham1046 December 6th, 2016 at 17:30

      And why do you think the new President would honor those debts

    Oh to be a fly on the wall at Wal-Mart corporate headquarters. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f2aaac5cc1a4a0c737640c2b7a53ac1edc8743cbf34be65fb81b7b06bd3b6cf3.jpg
