*ArtisticLicenseEconomics: Boy, do the writers of the show not understand how economics and the US debt actually WORK. China currently owns less than 10% of our national debt. While China suddenly stopping to buy US debt would be a moderately big deal, in reality all it would really cause would be a slight uptick in inflation of the US dollar. Even if Beckett stating that so-called 'austerity measures' being imposed were true, it would not suddenly result in our military being gutted and totally unable to respond to threats, as she claimed, and would ''certainly'' not start a war.
