[ale] China..vs..Forsyth County Schools

[Lightner, Jeff]

Interestingly though the policies that allowed for this were mostly implemented by the folks that aren't the incumbents now.    This whole anti-incumbent talk is IMHO horsefeathers.   It is just a way to trade moderate republicans and democrats (moderate or liberal) for people that are more right wing.   We'll end up putting back in charge the same mindset that gave us these policies.

IANAE (I Am Not An Economist) but I read somewhere that part of the
reason China owns so much US debt is that it helps to keep their
economy artificially higher compared to the US. Which is all well and
good but you'd think the US Feds wouldn't allow that to happen. Or at
least shouldn't. Which is part of the reason for so much
anti-incumbent sentiment going on now.
