Can the US settle its debt to China by giving it Utah?
China would get lots of land and the rest of the citizens in the US would not really miss it.

China taking over the u.s? ?
I’ve been hearing people say that the u.s just recently went into another trillion dollars in debt. Mainly with China. How much debt would u have to be in to go bankrupt like the soviet union? Were do we stand at that number, anywhere close? What would then happen
How much allegiance do you pledge to American flag?
Choice A). Very little because Obama and the country is going bankrupt so I can’t stand where America is right now.
Choice B). Very little because George W. Bush ruined this country with 2 baseless wars and ruined a perfectly good economy under Clinton leading us to this mess.
Choice C). Very little, can we really say this is a democratic and free country when both political parties are controlled by elites and besides that, we have a dark past of racism, segregation, horrible treatment of the American Indians, we also have no pride, selling all our projects to China or 10 cents an hour.
Choice D). I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America; and to the Republic for which it stands one nation, (under God), indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Unconditionally, I choose answer D)!
And we need to unite on whatever ground combines us, and it’s putting the finger pointing, even rightly if not wrongly, aside, because what other nation will defend and enrich the USA more than the people of America? This is our country.
Should we sell Puerto Rico to pay off our national debt?
The United States is holding on to Common Wealths such as Puerto Rico and many others, and they are receiving tax dollars and benefits even though they are not a state. Now that we are so far in debt to China should we sell them to help settle? After all, we will all be part of China when they decide to collect.
Is it really too late to do anything about this situation?
I have been trying to teach English here in China for the past 2 years. I’ve encountered a range of problems and found it difficult to keep employment. Once school fired all the teachers, ripped us off then went bankrupt. Other schools have kept me on for a few months and then turned around and found a better teacher because they don’t like my teaching style. The latest company let me go because they were restructuring and downsizing. I was the unlucky one who didn’t have a relationship with the boss so I was the first out the door. The alternative was only a couple of hrs work each week – changing me from full time to barely part time.
So, I have given up on teaching. I think I’m OK but not good enough to maintain a decent career out of it. ESL teaching is difficult to earn money in. Now that I am married, I want a better, more stable job and a different career at home. We were both planning to move back to Australia to live.
Here’s the problem. The latest firing has pretty much made my wife lose all respect for me. She’s saying really nasty things and I think her mindset is starting to become like this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApxlE10r_YqloAeAMeCr5N_B7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20090127092441AA0P70V
She has said some really hurtful things and has been withholding the sex like she doesn’t want to be with me anymore. I’ve questioned her and she tends to close up and when pushed, says she’s not happy, she’s bored. I get upset, she sees that and says that we will be together forever and that she still loves me. I doubt it though by the way she looks and acts now. She told me to be a man and go back to Australia and set everything up (we were only 3.5 months away from moving back).
I’m reminded about how at this time I cannot afford the diamond ring. Also, despite my wages being enough to pay for everything and give us enough money to go out, it hasn’t been enough to save for a honeymoon. We only got married last month. I told her that my work prospects are so much better in Australia but she finds that hard to believe – I didn’t have it in me to change enough to grow and become a good teacher so apparently that reflects on my ability not to change overall.
A bit of history about my working life in Australia: I graduated uni about 1 year before coming to China. I worked for 4 years in a supermarket and became a manager. They wanted me to stay and become a trainee department manager. I had a lot of potential. But it seems that I lost all of that potential when I came here to China. She has just seen all of my failures and compares that against her own successes and the successes of other foreigners who have done well here.
It’s really hurting me to see her become so scathing and nasty and unloving. I told her that it’s worth banging my head against a wall with these jobs for a few more months so that we can still be together (albeit not much because she is busy with her overseas work) and leave the country together. She says that if she had more money and was more successful in her work, she’d leave with me tomorrow. But thinks I should give up the struggle of teaching and just go back and set things up. I’m about to do that. Three months is not long.
But I still feel the sting of her disappointment in me. It’s like something has changed and she can’t see the good in me at all anymore. So I think what’s the point of going home and getting established if she no longer has any feeling for m? She might turn around and refuse to come in a couple of months time. Already I think her mind is definitely changing. She’s not interested in the wedding and when I asked about us going back to see her family one more time before we leave, she said she said I wasn’t welcome in her home anymore because I stay there and get fed like a king instead of working hard. That I should give something back to her family…
So, she is bored, disinterested in me and behaving like she wants me out of her life. Should I return home and get established and forget about her? This is not the departure I had hoped for. I think she kind of resigned when I said I found more employment here and could be earning more than the last school. She’s already told me my teaching is at ground level and I’m a loser – meaning no good at teaching.
It’s really cruel for her to say these things and feel so disappointed as far as I’m concerned because I stayed on longer and pushed through because I wanted to be with her. I could have left about a year ago…My parents wished I had and set myself up with a job and car. Instead, I either leave now or find work here. Last night I had a dream about her being romanced by some other guy. She was really into it. She’s not being intimate with me and looking down upon me.
Seek divorce?? Yes it’s not fair on her to have a husband without a stable job. But I thought she woul
Could we sell Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to settle our debts?
Would that take care of it? I also would like to see Sarah Palin include in the sale. Saudi Arabia or Japan or China or maybe Russia interested?
(I also would be cool with selling Florida to Cuba but that’s just me)
Should we file for bankruptcy as a country?
Should America just default on all money owed to other countries and file for bankruptcy, start from scratch.
China would meet only death if they tried to come here.
@Sadcat, the UN of course.
Obama ,Bush is equal to a bankrupt third world America.Between them we will owe $ 13trillion how do you feel?
By the end of Obama’s 4year term(hopefully the last term) we will be owing $ 19 Trillion dollars to China, Saudi Arabia etc…
Republicans and Democrats gotta go agree

how soon will i be able to go bankrupt again since i filed in 2005?
I had a small business and in 2005 it failed and i had to go bankrupt on it and my home..everything , i lost it all.. I have since gotten back on my feet (i thought) ..got a good job with the state and even bought a new car since i had to drive so much for my job…Aug 1st of this year the governor cut the budget to my program and i lost my job. now I can’t make it…there are no jobs around here, there’s nothing…when is the earliest I can file for some sort of bankruptcy? I took the total wipe out the last time..this time I’m hoping I can do the one where I can restructure and keep my home, car and possessions. The economy is killing people like me. Please I hope someone out there knows if I can file for restructure sooner than 7 years and keep what I finally got built back up. Thank you
i wanted to add that i am NOT an idiot and really hate to be talked to like i am one. I am getting unemployment for now. I live in a very small town in Southern Ill and there are NO jobs…thanks to our goverment all our jobs are going to china or somewhere bedsides here. I ask my question to get a helpful answer NOT to get told I am lazy and need to find work…hate to wish bad on anyone but I just hope those of you who think I am so lazy goes thru this someday themselves..maybe then you will all be more understanding. I didn’t need made fun of ..i just ask for help in finding the right answer…thanks for nothing.
i really think THIS is partly whats wrong with the country anymore…people are heartless..always ready to put someone farther down than they already are…again thanks for nothing.
You know I am rather sorry I asked a question….I am NOT a deadbeat, I am an AMERICAN…if the economy has not hit you yet then I am happy for you…but in small town America it has it hard…I have worked all My life and will continue to work IF i can find a job.. unlike most of you I guess I just can’t afford to pull up stakes and move to ‘where the jobs are’…btw…according to the news they’d like to know where the jobs are too… I am totally ashamed to even read these answers…I hope each and every one of you who have told me ‘to get a job ‘ and not have a new car..or buy a ‘cheap ‘ house….well my answer to that is ..I bought a house..for ,000…cheap enough??? and i bought a chevy colbalt..cheap enough??? so you big knowlegable people get off your pedistal before you FALL off…your not better than me or any other American who is having problems now…I am a 56 year old woman and i live VERY modest life….so dont JUDGE me …all I wanted was some info on what choices.
400+ Chinese students stranded after 4 Australian colleges go bankrupt. Australian scam?
How can 4 coleges go bankrupt? Sounds impossible, but it just happened in Australia. Strangely, most of the students in these Australian colleges are either from China or India. Was this a huge Australian scam to get money from foreigners?

Should the usa go bankrupt, to wipe off the debt?
Should the usa go bankrupt and default on all government debts? Would the economy be better off if the usa had {content} in debt?
I think It’s time the creditors(china) took a hit in the wallet, don’t you?
To settle the US debt with China, should the US just give China all of Alaska and all oil drilling rights?
Again, to settle all debts with China, should the territory of Alaska be ceded to China along with all the oil drilling rights and the power to evict from the new Chinese territory anyone the Chinese government wants?
Again, his would be in exchange for all the debt the US currently owes China.
You do know we will never be able to pay China back right?

What 2 states would you be willing to give up to settle our debt to China?
If we had to give up 2 states to China, what 2 states you wouldn’t mind letting go? Why?
Just a hypothetical question-I know it will never happen!!
