China buying Chicago Stock Exchange---- What the *&#c$%?

This doesn't sound right to me. China investors buying us out.
What the?

When are WE going to get it that we must bring America back home?
We are bleeding from all areas of life. You name it, the list is long and diverse.

Michael Moore's "SLACKER UPRISING" movie is what we need to do for "We The People". Wake up America! before we lose it.

The Chicago Stock Exchange -- a subsidiary of CHX Holdings Inc. -- is minority-owned by a group including ETrade Financial Corp., Bank of America Corp., Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, according to the company. The minority shareholders are also selling their stake, Kerin said.


I wonder what politicians will stand up in opposition.

Of a continued trade deficit. All the $ we send over to China to buy stuff we used to make ourselves looks for investments back here in the US. Continue the trade deficit and China will continue to buy up US assets with the money we send them.
