What about loan payments? Like, for example, all the money owed due to the economic crisis?

I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Good point. It certainly is in China's interest to make the US accumulate foreign held debt.

It's hard to justify making tribute payments to China, though. Implementing pro-corporate policies is much more politically acceptable. By the way, the Chinese have tried to influence American politics in the past; they funded Clinton's legal defense fund in 1996. Wikipedia it.

I am not talking about tribute payments to China. I am talking about China buying up corperations, so they can use those pro-corperate lobbies for their own purposes.

They dont have to. According to the supreme court gang rape of democracy a few years ago even foreign corporations can make campaign contributions.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

It's not as if the DNC needed the money to win in 1996 anyway.

As long as we're on the subject, why isn't the US Chamber of Commerce being investigated for funneling overseas money into the 2010 elections for the Republicans?  Races where the additional money may have turned a few critical races in Republican favor.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!
