how to stun a freeper

[historian]

I think that the most common crass comment you hear from a freeper (at least in this redneck area it is) is f...the ferrners. Who needs em? Im happy to inform them that the federal govt and its debts and deficits are covered almost entirely by foreigners (mostly japanese) buying the bonds. If they stopped, interest rates would go sky high, and every penny of revenue will have to be used to pay off debt. Forget good roads, decent schools or medical care!!
As to insulting the french and germans - I remember reading in the econoist (i think its been awhile) that the French Germans and british are the biggest buyers of corporate bonds. No buyers of bonds, no investments = no jobs = spiralling into recession and possibly depression.
Most of the times it doesnt make them think but it at least shuts them up for a bout a minute or two

4. They don't know what corporate bonds are and how they

work. I only know because I worked for a bank and had to learn about securities and some basic economics on the job. Isn't this stuff we should have been learning in high school? Do kids today learn about this stuff in school? They should be because it affects their lives directly.
