Has Ron called for blocking the Chinese from buying Treasury bonds?

Has he called for prohibiting employers from "exporting jobs?"

I'm not sure he's done either. Anyone know?

(I know I saw Hillary interviewed on CNBC's Power Lunch a while back and I saw her call for blocking the Chinese from buying Treasury bonds with my own eyes.)

Rather than insist the Chinese stop buying them....wouldn't it be better to stop issuing them?

I'm pretty sure he's opposed to both. His approach is to address causes of problems, not the symptoms. ;)

Yes, we wouldn't have to issue so many if we weren't using the Fed to monetize our irresponsible budget deficits!

Someone should respond to that last commenter, Jimmy the demmie, and maybe find the youtube of that Hillary interview....

I like the word "monetize." It sounds so complicated and official...when all it means is rolling over one debt into another with a little more $$ tacked on. Like refinancing your house with cash out to 'spend' (pay off credit cards) to acquire more debt.
