ARMS FOR BONDS!

Over this past weekend, North Korea launched a Taepodong-2 missile, a 3-stage rocket that has a range of about 4,100 miles. North Korea, one of the most oppressive Communist regimes in the world, is sharpening its swords and telling the rest of the world that it means business. North Korea claimes that a satillite was on the rocket, although it could've been topped with a nuclear device destined to kill millions. The rocket most likely went about 2,000 miles before landing in the Pacific Ocean. Even President Barack Obama condemned the action. The United Nations Security Council convened, but did nothing. (typical) Fox News analyst and national security expert K.T. McFarland concluded on 'Fox and Friends' Sunday that North Korea was doing this as a demonstration to attract interested buyers like Iran. In other words, it was a sales pitch.

Whoa! Stop the presses! You mean to tell me a Communist country wants to sell products for profit? How dare they. The profit motive cuts against everything that Communism stands for. Karl Marx is turning over in his grave. North Korea must spread the wealth around if it is going to sell missiles. Something must be done about this. China must intervene, but it has two prob-
lems. First, China may not want to buy up our trillions of dollars of United States Treasury Bonds because America is in tremendous debt. And second, I hope China doesn't want North Korea to become an unstable nuclear threat. Therefore, China should kill two birds with one stone by implementing the "Arms for Bonds" program. Here's the plan.

If North Korea sells any nuclear or missile technology to any country, The Chinese government shall tax North Korea at 90%, which is the normal Communist tax rate. If 90% is good enough for AIG bonuses, it's good enough for North Korea. Then China should devote all of that money to pay our US Treasury Bonds. If North Korea is discouraged from selling nuclear material, great! If North Korea sells anything, America's debts go down. Either scenerio is a win-win outcome for America. But from now on, if any evil country launches a missile, America must shoot it down and take appropriate military action. In the meantime, America should never tolerate North Korea's unstable regime.
