America's most precious resource is our consumption.
The Chinese don't covet our oil, our coal, our farms, our water. They covet out consumption. So much that they're willing to fund it. Our only collateral is the promise of more consumption.
Of course, this can't continue forever. And once our consumption ends, so ends the Republic.

That's right! Good point. They want our "freedom." Not political freedom, not freedom of speech or religion. Not freedom of race and gender equality. But...freedom to consume like Americans, Japanese, or Americans.
That's why Preck so viciously hates us, the Japanese, and S. Koreans. We can buy all the useless shit we could ever store in our basements. We are free to drown in debt!
