China stopped buying US Debt because their trade surplus has evaporated.

I think you are correct john83 not many shoppers these days at Walmart, I'm told they are not stocking shelvess like they use to and they no longer have meet to greet employees at the front door, they stopped that policy a year ago.

It all has to do with how poorly the economy is doing, people are broke, no jobs or those lucky to have part time ones with no benefits. And those that are working are holding on and not spending because they don't know if the government going to shut down again effecting their businesses or employment. It's no way to run a business, a country or lift morale for people to spend for the economy to be good.

They need get the special interest out of Washington, term limits and put the people first policy in so we can all have the American Dream like it was years before not like now so rigged against us.
