WE'LL BE HEARING A LOT MORE OF THIS

In addition to the wasteful and dangerous effort to prop up the state of Israel (see below), the hawks & the neo-cons will be playing the China Card a lot:
“The Chinese are convinced that they have been given an opening with our current financial crisis,” Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told the American Enterprise Institute last week. “For the first time in their history, Beijing believes they can achieve military parity with the United States.”

if he starts to call for balanced trade tarrifs with China like these minority conservatives it might be a notable shift.
