BEIJING (Reuters) – Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms sales to Taiwan.

Doesn’t anyone find this dangerous?
(1) Immediately balance the budget. Nuke functions. Lower taxes (i.e., the Laffer curve will increase revenue).
(2) Create a debt-reduction plan (i.e., whatever reasonable interval to pay it off — fifty years? a hundred years?).
(3) Adopt something with teeth that can keep this from happening again!
Argh!
Your gooferment at work!

INTERESTING: Reduce signs; reduce accidents to zero?

A sign of movement: Don’t Walk
BY BRUCE KAUFFMANN FOR THE
Telegraph Herald – Dubuque, IA
*** begin quote ***
In 2004, the good citizens of Christianfield, Denmark — libertarians to the core — decided to remove all of the traffic signs and signals, including the Denmark equivalent of “Don’t Walk” signs, from their most dangerous intersection. This was done to determine if they would be safer without government intervention, which is what traffic signs unquestionably represent.
“What if,” these citizens asked themselves, “it was up to us, not Denmark’s transportation department, to determine the safest way of crossing an intersection?”
After several months of forgoing government traffic signs and depending on their judgment — including approaching the intersection cautiously — the number of serious accidents dropped to zero.
An isolated, non-representative example? Maybe.
*** end quote ***
Maybe we can try “freedom” and “liberty”?
