This will make the transactions less transparent, too.  Oh, boy, just what we need.  China with a direct link to the Treasury with less transparency.  That'll save the economy.  Especially when China has also suddenly started defaulting on commodities deals, leaving ships mid-ocean with nowhere to go.


In a probably unrelated story, some Congressmen want to lift the ban on government propaganda.

Doubleplusgood!


I don't think the ban did much to stop them in the first place, do you?

Well, that's ok.  Make your OWN "gummint" propaganda!
