A Chinese Child's Life

One of my posters has been taking me to task about the huge debt America is running up with China. Even though it usually has nothing to do with what we're talking about. They do have a valid point. But I try to get them to focus on the bigger issue. Loaning money to America is an investment in their own future. Like the old saying goes. "As long as I owe you. You will never be broke." Who better to have in your debt, than the United States?

Instead of spending money abroad. China could better use it on their very own people. They are in dire need of dealing with some human rights issues. Like feeding their people without killing them. This isn't the first time there has been a problem with this exact chemical. Apparently it's human life versus the bottom line. With the bottom line winning. I don't think they place the same value on human life as America does. They have a history of cutting corners that ultimately end in the loss of life. Between their self induced birth control methods and natural disasters. Not to mention stuff like this. Soon there won't be anyone left to collect the debt. America puts more value on household pets. Than China does a Chinese child's life.
