A Chinese ratings house has accused the United States of defaulting on its massive debt, state media said Friday, a day after Beijing urged Washington to put its fiscal house in order.

"In our opinion, the United States has already been defaulting," Guan Jianzhong, president of Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. Ltd., the only Chinese agency that gives sovereign ratings, was quoted by the Global Times saying.

Washington had already defaulted on its loans by allowing the dollar to weaken against other currencies -- eroding the wealth of creditors including China, Guan said.

You mean paying old debt off with new debt issued by printing money is a default, who knew?

Yeah, well one of the main economic officials in China is a self admitted Austrian economist. Forget his name though.

Without saying China is right or wrong, this statement is pretty ironic considering the source.

Go to the sound money forum, apparently a German ratings agency has downgraded US bonds from AAA to AA. http://bit.ly/k1rFQ4

Is this like how America is a democracy? You can't be a communist and an Austrian Economist at the same time. I'm pretty sure they're incompatible.
