We relied on the French inasmuch as they provided us weapons and troops who fought alongside us and against the British. France did not invade our nation, place it under military occupation and then install a government of their choosing. The analogy is almost completely inapplicable.

As far as borrowing from the Chinese, what kind of spending do you think drove us into trillions of national debt? It was for wars. Money was borrowed to pay for Korea, and then Vietnam, and then the Cold War, and then the Gulf War. I’d throw all the 80’s Latin America black ops in there as well, but those were financed with weapons sales to Iran / coke sales.

Yeah, we’re not in debt up to our ears because of runaway entitlement programs. That’s a brilliant piece of obfuscation, nicely done.
