American dream now financed by Chinese

Social Security, Medicare, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, welfare, federal housing project, Indian Reservations, the post office, the Community Redevelopment Act (caused the housing meltdown), and the list goes on and on.
Some of these government programs have actually harmed American citizens. All of them have cost several times what they were supposed to. Many of these programs are broken and all of them are broke. We are, as they say, in arrears.
The American dream is now financed through loans from the Communist Chinese and other unfriendly governments. If we “cashed out” tomorrow, the bill would be over $50,000 from every man, woman and child.
President Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate leader Harry Reid demand that we double this debt by nationalizing health care and buying into the climate change fraud.
As the captain of the Titanic said, “Full speed ahead.”
