Adrian Grenier: What a Card!

I have read through the comments and agree emphatically that the film was fantastic. I think the stated racial bias was more an attempt to call attention to racial bias in financial dealings than to stereo-type african-americans derogatorily, but I do understand how the presentation of Memphis and Detroit could be seen as a statement of racial bias. The thing that struck me so as so brilliant about the film is that it allowed the viewer to draw conclusions from the information rather than being told what it all meant. I for one, had not connected the dots from the Chinese beyond the US being a safe place to invest in bonds, treasuries and secured investments. Undeniably, the Chinese have created a highly leverageable situation to ensure US markets will remain open to Chinese imports and investment. This relationship just scares the bejeebers out of me because it leaves us very vulnerable to Chinese suggestion and ultimately may result in control of our economy (just as Islamic extremists went after our financial nerve center and attempt to impoverish the US via global conflict). I was left with the chilling thought of the Great Seal of the United States of America having a parenthetical statement (a subsidiary of the Peoples Republic of China). Perhaps I am overreacting, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems interesting that billions are being held back by banks, saying the risks are too big to loan the money now. I wonder how many banks are looking for ways to invest in Chinese development both as a function of return on investment and shareholder sentiment.
