http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/27/house-democratic-leaders-urge-obama-to-use-14th-amendment_n_910878.html?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec1_lnk3|81676

And their solution is briliant. Lets enact this amendment so that we can borrow even more.

Pigs.

Nothing. This whole thing is overhyped. Nothing's gonna happen. China can't declare war on us or demand all of our debt.

It boils down to this: Most American debt is held by Americans, who bought it from the government through bonds which are like stocks but instead of in a corporation, in a government. The majority of non-domestic held debt is held by China as everyone knows. China's emerging economy is based on manufacturing... for developed economies. If the US goes down, China doesn't sell what it makes because the up-and-comers (China, India, Brazil being the most important, Russia too to a lesser extent) haven't got enough of a middle class for them to be a serious market. So without the US around, China tanks. Just as bad as we would. So it's not in China's interest to collect on our debt.

In my opinion (which I've been convinced of by a few economics teachers who shared it), the worst case scenario is that the US will go bankrupt just like Mr. Trump has several times. That wouldn't be catastrophic, just a bit embarrassing.

IMO this is just the latest showdown to keep everyone's anxiety up, so they get a nice big turnout of voters in November. They're not going to let the country completely destroy itself. Don't worry. They might seem incompetent... but they're not.

Yah.... China is also making a mint on our "Green Tech" by mining all the ore needed for the coils around toxic lake Razz

Republicans WANT things to go as bad as possible without going over the edge to chaos... they want to make obama look bad so their POS candidate that they put forward will stand a better chance in the election....

It's a fuckin mess.... If our "leaders" actually had our best interests in mind instead of only ever being concerned with political ratings (which sometimes comes to our benefit, sometimes not) we wouldn't be in this fucking shithole

I kinda hope they fail to raise it (but they won't, I promise). That would be extremely good to me personally.

Funny you should mention that, China is actually planning to become more self-dependant and shift away from their dependancy on exportation to the global market. Will it work? Probably not, their export market is pretty much the main reason why they've grown so strong so quickly, but if they do manage to pull it off, there will be few things holding them back in whatever they do.

Well, if you were them, and you had a country like the US that was extremely powerful both militarily and economically and culturally, and you relied on them to build your own nation up... but they were at risk of defaulting on their debt. Wouldn't you want to be more independent? It'll take 'em a long time to get there though, the key to that kind of independence is a good strong middle class to buy the shit you make.

The problem with that is what Simon pointed out, a pitiful middle class, China is where there are now, due to low paying wages to produce low cost goods (also sitting on the worlds largest limited natural resources help) they need to increase their size of middle class and that is done through higher wages.... which increases cost production so its a bit of a catch 22, its doable but it takes time and eventually they would turn into the US, by looking elsewhere for imported goods to keep buying costs low

What does anyone want from China on the global market anyways, their low cost exports and resources, otherwise what else do the have to offer besides an oppressive government and a top notch hacking community

Bitch got told.

And yeah this is eerily similar to that "government shutdown" thing a few weeks ago. Set a deadline, watch people get anxious, solve the problem at the very last minute.
