Foreign debt will be our undoing

Huge expenses to build the U.S. embassy in Iraq will keep us and the military there for a long time, not to mention the cost for all that luxury.

We have free trade with other countries, but Europe imposes a 15 percent tax on U.S. imports.

A $40 billion contract awarded European Air Bus to build U.S. Air Force tankers leaves Lockhead & McDonnell out. But it makes McCain happy.

We borrow from other countries to pay for the war on terror, which serves no purpose.

We have no way of paying back other countries so we will pay dearly as you see our economy going down.

Taxes on food and gas, etc., keep going up. Bush makes his own laws and America is gong down while other countries are making money on us.

What happens when other countries want to be paid for all that borrowing?

Are we silly America to others? Evil is in the White House. Greed for power and money will destroy this country.
