China also bought $22 Billion worth of US private homes and property during the recent housing market downturn.

I figured with the trillions of dollars we already owe China the US would just start giving them shit.

Ugh....People think that if we forget about it, it will just go away......We might want to consider defaulting and see how that works out for everyone...Maybe the shareholders will accept a blood sacrifice for the trillions we owe. :o..Since we are on the hook for the children whose irresponsible parents have manage  off load via Mexico (Keep moving North Hombre) , one would think we have the capability to ascertain what countries they domiciled .. This data and financial info  can then be submitted to their respective embassies in Washington to facilitate  the maintenance of each child up until their 27th birthday.....  We should be attempting to offset our expenses in a responsible manner... 8)

Adding to the problem; every dollar printed lessens the value of the dollar before it.  Our markets are 'bullish' due to monopoly money...

   Exactly, It's a great way for a government to steal their subjects money. Print more funny money (federal reserve notes), backed by nothing, just as you said devalues the money we have in our pockets or in the bank. Remember silver certificates, I do and have a couple to show people, you could take a one dollar silver certificate into any bank and trade it for a REAL silver dollar, not the worthless plated coins we mint today.

Your US money used to say "redeemable in gold" it has - since the 20's i believe, said "legal tender" which means its backed by nothing...
