"the only reason China et al has been able to buy our bonds is because of their trade surplus, which also enables them to buy our land."

Gee, if only Republicans hadn't reset our fiscal sights from surpluses to deficits, we wouldn't have that problem, would we?

I'm not sure what your point is, because the China situation has developed across multiple administrations.
Please see these CFR sites for clarification, and notice that the China Holdings of U.S. Agency Bonds tracks exactly the China's trade surplus :

Thanks for the reminder.

Need I remind you, SHE started it, brought the abuse to the table? Stroke or no, SHE brought it to the party.
It's not like I called her a "SUNHUMAN ACUM(sic)" or a "piece of filth who made thar post(sic)" or in your(#17
) case a "craven ghouls"...
So I point out, I dispensed no insults, yet I received insults, and through some contortion of logic I'm the Bad Guy and all of you- You're Victims, of course.

^ps thanks Corky for showing up to the gangstalk! I knew I could count on you!
Also, thanks for being the Only One to at least attempt to answer the only relevant comment.
Refreshments are served in the Barn Office!

Hi Corky! ;)
"Republicans are responsible for facilities and maintenance"
Really?

from OP:
More than three years after its installation was approved by Congress...
-Wait, were the evil republicans responsible then too?

Besides:
The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is responsible to the United States Congress for the maintenance, operation, development and preservation of 16.5 million square feet of buildings and more than 450 acres of land throughout Capitol Hill.

And:
Thomas E. Austin June 24, 2024 - Present Joseph A. Campbell (October 1, 2024 - Pres First architect appointed by congressional commission after changes passed in the 2024 NDAA.[

Duh I'm so stupid, but I still like you Corky!

Bears repeating:
Trade Deficits are financed with Debt and Equity Sales

At what point would China decide to call-in?

Unmentioned so far: the selloff is global
BTW:
the only reason China et al has been able to buy our bonds is because of their trade surplus, which also enables them to buy our land.

^Danforth, I notice that you, too, failed to address the only germane comment, which was:

per OP source:
"its installation was approved by Congress"

answered with:
"No further GOP action would be necessary to effect the installation or otherwise. It's a done deal. Take it up with facilities or maintenance."

later elaborated:
What would DR have 'GOP' to do? Run out there with a hammer and a nail just to shut you up? I'm sure it's a union shop, so that can't happen. You should say instead "government maintenance workers refuse to hang plaque"

How would I know anyone's medical history. Do strokes make people abusive?

Still waiting on that link. Maybe you could step up and help poor strokie. Include time stamp if you claim it's somewhere in a big file.

I will say it again, not just Republican politicians are evil; ALL REPUBLICANS ARE SUNHUMAN ACUM WHO HAVE DESTROYED America and I honestly do hate every single one of them for it! (sic)

^mentions but does not comment on the only germane comment in the thread, to wit:

-Assaults her poor keyboard instead, fatfingers a load of irrelevance and ad hominem:
"Perehaps the piece of filth who made thar post can't remember the video of that officer with his head stuck in a doorway as those MAGAscum repeatedly slammed the door on his neck basically trying to kill him?" (sic)
-Yes I don't remember that. Do you have a link?

This thread is solely gangstalkers waiting for a target. I feel sorry for them,so
Here goes:
Suddenly the left loves 'pigs'! (anything to throw feces at the right)

from your propaganda:
"its installation was approved by Congress"
No further GOP action would be necessary to effect the installation or otherwise. It's a done deal. Take it up with facilities or maintenance.

-Education Department created
-Education outcomes continue to decline
-Department is evidently ineffective and should be eliminated. Why continue to pay for something that doesn't work?

You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything

Don't misunderstand; I am in favor of totally liberating Africa from any trace of foreign influence.
Africa for Africans.

It's not as if this hasn't been tried before.

Zimbabwe:
-dispossessed white farmers
-invited whites to leave country
-ran out of food
-begged the world for food
-begged the white farmers to come back

very interesting. It's almost as if somebody doesn't want you to see victim pictures.

About the stadium chant:
"That's just one party"

-doesn't condemn party

Looks like someone is lying.

OK now debunk this one:

National Debt Continued to Rise Under President Biden

The national debt increased by around $8.4 trillion during Biden's four years in office, largely driven by COVID-19 relief measures.22

U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data. "Debt to the Penny." Enter the dates "01/20/2021" and "01/20/2025."
According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Biden's American Rescue Plan is projected to add $1.9 trillion to the national debt by 2031.
