from abilene tx. let's look at the current members in the difference between u.s. and china exports. the 2010 numbers from the u.s. census bureau, and this is just through september. mr. barfield? guest: a couple of things. as i said before, and i'm sorry to repeat myself again, the u.s. balance with china or any other country or group of countries is based upon internal economic policies that we have. in other words, we are not saving enough to cover investments and consumption. inevitably, we will then import people who will pay this for us. if it is not china, it would be someone else. the deficit or surplus of the country does not have a lot of economic meaning in the overall span of things. given the fact that we will have to get it from somewhere, if we do not get it from china, then it would more likely be singapore, malaysia, taiwan, korea. that is the key there. that is not to say that the chinese have not taken actions that impede exports to them. all nations, including the united states. but i would like to go back to the point the caller made about colu

the next call is as surely, from abilene. caller: there are agencs of the government.s probably the murky as. the american people, i think, are being sold a bill of goods. we have 14 acting trade agreement, i believe, and we ha trade deficits with every one of them. the people that word -- that we are in these agreements with have no compunction when it comes to putting terrorist of -- tariffs on us. it seems the sinister to the american people, that we are getting our country of industry. -- putting our country of the instry. guing oure are bettin country of industry. i do not think we know who the american enterprise institute is. we do not know who is negotiating these terrorists. all we see it -- these tarriffs. all we see is the homogenizg of our country and there is an assault -- there is no end in sight. host: we have your point. thanks. from abilene tx. let'look at the current members in the difference between u.s. and china exports. the 2010 numbers from th u.s. census bureau, and this is just through september. mr. barfield? guest: a couple of things. as i sa

host: doris from abilene, texas, on the phone. caller: first i would like to say i think president obama is doing a great job. this country can't stop on an dime and fix itself. we are working with the right direction. another thing that i would like to say is the independent candidates, some of the things they are talking about in eliminating are very extreme. i don't think that they are very educated on how the money is being spent in congress. also, the comments they are making as far as taking action by picking up weapons and overthrowing the government. at what point do we not see this as terrorist threats? if the average person were to say that they would be arrested or even investigated. but these people are clearly making terrorist threats. guest: well, i mean first i don't know of any independent candidate who is running for congress right now that has a chance of winning. the only one that is remotely close is lisa murkowski but she is a republican. so i don't hear that. as far as picking up weapons and taking over the g
