Breaking News: 91 Million Americans Just Victimized by China in Largest Cyber-Attack Ever!

by Jack

Despite the potential damage done to 91 million Blue Shield and Blue Cross customers, and our healthcare system which is wide open to fraudulent billing, we will not be going to war with China.  President Obama is determined to stay the course and do absolutely nothing, not even a tersely worded memo or break in trade.  China owns us and now they own your ID information and could virtually drain your bank account at will.  They’ve got all they need on you, even some potentially embarrassing health information.   Because of President Obama’s policy of non-engagement, total detachment and aloof foreign policy your country won’t be taken any action whatsoever, despite the damage. -Jack

 

News release:  Health insurer Premera Blue Cross was the target of a major cyber-attack, and personal or health data for as many as 11 million people may have been compromised, the company announced Tuesday.

    The most effective thing we could do against them would be to ban Chinese imports. However can you imagine the whining when folks can’t go out and buy a new iPhone or flat screen TV?

    What would you suggest the President do?

      JIM, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?! OMG…If we banned cheap Chinese imports those old American businesses that fled to China for low overhead might be forced into coming back to meet the needs of the American consumer. That would mean jobs and people with money to buy cars and houses and the next thing you know we might be prosperous again! Heck, we might surpass China as the worlds largest economy! We can’t have a resurgence of capitalism when the democrats have been working so hard to kill it and they are right at the point of victory!

      Nah, cause the next thing you know we would be making our own military equipment, aircraft parts and even bullets…and not the Chinese. That would be a terrible thing to do to our debt holders.

    Well now you are singing my song. Many have been in favor of strong tariffs for years. Historically tariffs are how the Federal Government was financed before income taxes. However with this free trade nonsense it’s no longer fashionable. I say bring it back, sounds you you might agree. Not only would it help restore American industry, jobs and fix our trade deficit. It would bring in needed revenue.

    And using our own steel to make safe bridges. Remember the Bay Bridge?

    The Price of ‘Made in China’:

    “The real problem with this deal is that it doesn’t take into account all of the additional costs that buying “Made in China” brings to the American table. In fact, this failure to consider all costs is the same problem we as consumers face every time we choose a Chinese-made product on price alone — a price that is invariably cheaper.

    Consider the safety issue: a scary one, indeed, because China has a very well-deserved reputation for producing inferior and often dangerous products. Such products are as diverse as lead-filled toys, sulfurous drywall, pet food spiked with melamine and heparin tainted with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate.

    In the specific case of bridges, six have collapsed across China since July 2011. The official Xinhua news agency has acknowledged that shoddy construction and inferior building materials were contributing factors. There is also a cautionary tale much closer to home.

    When California bought Chinese steel to renovate and expand the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, for a project that began in 2002, problems like faulty welds by a Chinese steel fabricator delayed the project for months and led to huge cost overruns. Those delays eroded much of the savings California was banking on when it opted for the “cheap” Chinese steel.

    There is a second reason not to buy “Made in China” products: jobs. The abiding fact is that steel production is heavily subsidized by the Chinese government. These subsidies range from the massive benefits of a manipulated and undervalued currency to the underwriting of the costs of energy, land, loans and water.”

      Yep, the bay bridge was a boondoggle and I agree the Chinese goods really are lousy, and sometimes dangerous! Slightly related…I heard the new flood pumps for New Orleans didn’t pass the stress test, but we’re going to pay for them anyway. Who makes these dumb decisions? Why don’t we have some sort of accountability?

    Accountability?!

    Atlas Shrugged….
