And how does it help us to become irrational about the issues we face?<br><br><br>Stan, You're right, the Chinese face some very serious problems. Not only are parts of China basically occupied countries, but the Chinese government has made a dirty-deal with its people, where they give up their freedoms for economic progress. When their growth starts to slip, no one knows what will happen. That's why they're concerned about keeping their growth rate above 8% annually.AndrewPricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-11604020272521372102009-08-04T19:42:47.623-04:002009-08-04T19:42:47.623-04:00Yeah, you should read the posters over at Pat Buch...Yeah, you should read the posters over at Pat Buchanan at Human Events.<br>Stopped reading that drivel about China owning us, Israel forcing us into wars since WW2, the sky is falling...blah blah blah.<br><br>I'd rather hear cogent leadership on the right any day of the week.

If Barry would get out of the way we’d take off, as has been stated so many times now, I think it’s purposeful. Drive us down and we’ll run to the nanny state, and who will be there to greet us our new Messiah, Barry! The Chinese have their own problems as well, I hear of riots with the peasants, and to put perspective to that, what are we talking about, 700 million people pissed off peasants with pitch forks. Also, the comparison of the two countries is apples and oranges there are 300 Million plus Americans, and a billion plus Chinese.StanHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-56130624706856920122009-08-04T16:59:47.501-04:002009-08-04T16:59:47.501-04:00That's what the news has become.

The banter got so irritating. <br><br>I used to like the Saturday morning business line-up on Fox but even that got bad; it was less about business news and more about people promoting their latest business book or people talking over each other to score a point.Writer Xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16505411188186283813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-9967078854447508792009-08-04T16:44:49.596-04:002009-08-04T16:44:49.596-04:00Writer X, I stopped watching their morning show fo...Writer X, I stopped watching their morning show for the same reason. Of course, I stopped watching FOX for the same reason -- no news, just opinion presented as fact. Very frustrating. I'm particularly upset at FOX for blowing the chance they have to "fix" modern journalism.AndrewPricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-2573404116993227602009-08-04T16:35:02.193-04:002009-08-04T16:35:02.193-04:00Yes, so true.

I just wanted to hear the top stories; instead, I got to listen to their opinions about the business news. It was quite annoying. Stopped that long ago.Writer Xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16505411188186283813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-64509543700478786252009-08-04T16:19:30.527-04:002009-08-04T16:19:30.527-04:00Writer X, CNBC, like the rest, is about sensationa...Writer X, CNBC, like the rest, is about sensationalizing the news. They give you decent news, news you don't really hear on the other channels -- which have entirely given up on providing news and instead go for 100% opinion, wrapped in T&A. But sadly, they give you these little nuggest of news wrapped in ten tons of garbage.<br><br><br>Lawhawk, I recall those panics as well. The Arabs are coming the Arabs are coming! They were going to buy up everything and then take over the country. But then they went broke. So the Japanese came. The Japanese are coming, the Japanese are coming! Do you recall how every time they bought a building, the news would scream about "we're mortgaging America!" This is the same thing.<br><br>Next it will be India and then someone like Bangladesh.AndrewPricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-74502382702317676532009-08-04T16:06:20.698-04:002009-08-04T16:06:20.698-04:00As usual, the worst place to get accurate business...As usual, the worst place to get accurate business news is to tune in to CNBC.
