Looking for Something Thom Hartmann...
talked about on Monday. He was talking about our foreign debt to China and Japan. Supposedly that debt we owe Japan is exploding exponentially due to accruing interest. I felt it was really good fodder to counter Neo-Nuts, so now I'm looking for any article that may go into depth about how much we owe and how this debt we borrowed is helping Japan.

Thanks in advance...

2. I don't have a link, but I heard him.
He was saying that Japan is actually making more money on the interest on our debt than they are on their own production and exports, which are also doing quite well!

You might try White Rose Society. I think they archive his programs.

4. Here's a link to his web site and his archives.
http://www.thomhartmann.com/

I think he usually references where he got his info when he makes statements like that. I don't remember if he did this time or not, but I wouldn't have been paying attention to that either.

5. I know what you're looking for & a quick search didn't turn it up.
Go to his message board & ask. Someone there will hook you up, they are good people. All else fails e mail Thom, he'll take time to respond, that guy is incredible! I think there are actually three or four of him.

7. Today he mentioned that China is basically funding it's
military expenditures on debt interest.

IIrc, that's about $20B.

ChimpCo is a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.

8. Criminal Mindset
They are dellusional to the point where they believe all this will justify the "means". I think every criminal mind I have heard of says has said this.
