Kendrick Meek: “Communist China, $249.8 billion of U.S. debt they have purchased. We owe them. Japan, the island of Japan I must add…”

“Communist China, $249.8 billion of U.S. debt they have purchased. We owe them. Japan, the island of Japan I must add, the island of Japan, not as big as the United States, but we owe them a whopping $682.8 billion. We owe them. The American people owe them. And we owe them because of the policies of the Republican majority and the White House. Now, Mr. Ryan, let me say this. I do not care what party an American is affiliated with, if it is Republican, Democrat or Independent, or someone who does not vote at all. The bottom line is you are going to receive the tab for this. You are, not your children's children's children. You are. They are going to pay their fair share, but I guarantee if this Republican Congress continues to head down the track that it is heading down now, more countries will be on this map. Like I said last night, when creditors call your house for you to pay them, they call you by your first name. They disrespect you from the beginning. They do not say, Mr. Ryan, maybe you can pay us whenever you feel like it. No, they say, Tim, you are going to pay this bill now. These are the terms; and if you do not do it, this is what we are going to do. Mr. Speaker, I can see folks saying Mr. Tim Ryan and Mr. Kendrick Meek and Ms. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Mr. Delahunt and the rest of the 30-something Working Group, they are just down there talking fiction. This is fact. We should be alarmed.…”
