Ziel at Your Lying Eyes asks one of those awkward questions:

Hillary Clinton went hat-in-hand to China last week to beg them to buy our T-Bills so we can fund our stimulus package, arguing it is in our mutual interest for them to do so? Why would it be in China’s interest? So the U.S. can continue to import their goods, of course. But if we’re spending the stimulus on Chinese imports, then it isn’t much of a stimulus for the American economy, is it?
