Hey look, when you’ve got nothing to show for over three years of effort (
such that it is) on the economy, you’re pretty much left with demagoguery.
That’s exactly what President Obama is going to attempt, by talking about
“tax fairness.”
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is launching a push to extend tax
cuts for the middle class, as he seeks to shift the election-year economic
debate away from the dismal jobs market and toward the issue of tax fairness.

根据最新解密的美国国务院外交档案，中共已故领导人毛泽东1973年在与美国特使
基辛格会谈时，曾经建议将一千万名中国妇女送到美国去。毛泽东表示，这种移民既可
以开展双方的贸易，还可以造成美国的“伤害”，让美国和中国一样，饱尝人口过多的
痛苦。
法新社报道，美国国务院2月13日公布1973至1976年的解密外交档案。根据档案，
1973年毛泽东在会见基辛格时，作出了上述建议。
两人是于1973年2月17日，在毛泽东住处开始这段直到午夜才结束的冗长对话。当
谈到两国可怜的贸易数字时，烟不离手的毛泽东说：中国是一个“非常穷的国家”，“
我们最多的就是女人”。
毛泽东的第一次提议，是让“几千个”中国妇女到美国，但后来加码到了“一千万
”，引起与会者大笑。当时的国务院总理周恩来也在场。
基辛格时任尼克松政府的国家安全顾问，他当时也知趣地响应毛泽东的话说，对于
中国妇女到美国，美国并无设定“配额”，也不会征收关税。基辛格的话引来更多的笑
