19th Century Americans

"Thank you, Hu Jintao, and thank you, China," said Hugo Chavez, as he announced a $20 billion loan from Beijing, to be repaid in Venezuelan oil.
The Chinese just threw Chavez a life-preserver. For Venezuela is reeling from 25 percent inflation, government-induced blackouts to cope with energy shortages and an economy that shrank by 3.3 percent in 2009.
Where did China get that $20 billion? From us. From consumers at Wal-Mart. That $20 billion is 1 percent of the $2 trillion in trade surpluses Beijing has run up with the United States over two decades.
Beijing is using its trillions of dollars in reserves, piled up from exports to America, to cut deals to lock up strategic resources for the coming struggle with the United States for hegemony in Asia and the world.

Damn...now China has a refueling port in Venezuela when their navy, built by US consumer dollars, decides to surround us.
Who borrowed my lighter?

I am surprised that no one picked up on the following . . .
We have all seen the Joe Kennedy ads for "Citizens Energy" where all of the poor American veterans thank Joe and Venezuela for providing them with heating oil so they don't freeze to death, because their own country which they served in its time of need gave them the giant FU in their time of need.
So now we have China loaning money to Venezuela so Venezuela can provide low cost / free oil to poor American veterans whose own country cannot or will not take care of them!
Meanwhile, back in the USA, we have douchebags like Stu / Hababa who claim American citizenship, spend a ton of time in the USA peddling their products to Americans, but hide out claiming offshore residency to avoid paying their fair share of taxes to take care of the needy veterans who served to protect their freedom.
Marvelous!
