Reply #22: If we're at war with China, we won't have to worry about them calling our debt [View All]

The US would not honor it in that case, so we'd knock 2 trillion dollars off of the national debt.

There are other benefits too...

• A large war could possibly provide the impetus for the people in China to revolt and finally topple their tyrannical government.


• Lack of cheap plastic goods would be a boost to the US manufacturing industry. As would the ramped-up production of military equipment.


• No more tainted food imports would boost agricultural production in the U.S.


• Taiwan could finally gain nation status.

Not that I'm advocating a U.S. war against them – just saying... ;)
