How much will taxpayers shoulder?

[Vandiablo]

Just a few general comments on China, since I happen to be in Shanghai at the moment (where Christmas shopping at the Walmart's...)

Wow, you're in China right now???

Couldja pick something up at their WalMart for me please?? About a dozen would be good. Just put them in a shipping container. Better make that two dozen, so that a dozen will make it all the way. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with them. I think while I'm waiting for them to arrive I'll start a pharmaceutical company, and when they get here I'll have them start making generics. I'll go to the grocery store and get some baking soda so I'll be ready.

Hopefully if you get two dozen, they already come with buckets and some water bottles.

Oh! Maybe send some "heavy metal" paint, too, so they can make some toys.
