The U.S. should sell Wyoming and Florida to China.

It shows you can't pay it off. ===REBUTTAL=== "Yes but great Britain is not communist. " --> And? This doesn't make China less of legit buyer than Britain or Japan. Furthermore, Britain has a monarch. The appeal to emotion here fails in that the fact that the U. S. could be in serious debt they can't tax or cut back their way out of. " I am a Cuban American and do not want to compromise my freedom and liberties in order to pay off a debit… it is not worth it. " --> You have the freedom to leave the new Florida or Wyoming dominion of China a whim, no-ones forcing you to live there. "And what about those people who fled china that now live in Wyoming and Florida" --> If they could flee China, I'm pretty sure they could flee Florid or Wyoming. "I understand that you are looking to clear the debit but this is not the way… this would be the most extreme method that should not be considered till all other options are exulted. " --> All other options have been done. They aren't the solution. "Well we need to stop needless spending on a war that makes no sense. " --> I agree on this, but this will only cut some spending. It won't be the path to cutting all debt. "We have at least 10 million in pork-barrel projects we can get rid of… it is all about chipping away at it and not trying to do crazy things to pay it off… and we need to stop spending more. " --> $10 million is nothing in terms of trillions of dollars of debt. . http://www.youtube.com... . http://www.youtube.com... "Yes, buying land that we could claim and bring freedom to. Not selling land that is unconstitutional for the federal government to just sell states with out the people approving. " --> What the people think is irrelevant in this debate. If the U. S. congress was debating it, yes, the people's thoughts are extremely relevant. The U. S. bought huge tracts of land from foreign nation. Why can't we just reverse the logic and sell the land? There is also no reason why the Chinese wouldn't give them freedom, like Macau or Hong Kong, which are largely self governed. (. http://en.wikipedia.org...) (. http://en.wikipedia.org...) ===PRO ARGUMENT=== "If you give a piece of our land to china then all of the people that we are in debt to will want a piece. " --> Evidence of? "Completely against what our country was founded on. " --> America was founded largely on the right to freedom of speech and democracy. If it was constitutional to buy land, it's constitutional to sell land. "We would be a tiny America with a ton of foreign compromise. " -->America would only be selling of two states. "I was stating that you said your proposal was more then worth what the debit is… so I was just stating that it was not really fair for us then. " --> The cost I gave was an indicator of how much it was worth. If you have a different system of valuing the land of Florida and Wyoming, please show us it. "Voters…. Think about it as if the United States were selling your state to china… would you agree" --> Again, the debate is about who has better argument, not what your agree with. There's a box for that, and it doesn't count for any points. Thanks for the debate.
