China and everyone else with any portion of America's debt can't call us on it because as I said before the WORLD ECONOMY hangs in the balance
You can't debate me all day about economics. Once you hit the edge of your ignorance on the subject, which doesn't take long, you run away.

An emerging economy like Ireland cutting taxes has no bearing whatsoever on how tax cuts affect a $13 trillion mature/advanced economy like America's. Ireland got new investment that would otherwise have gone to other EU countries but the overall economic growth in the EU was unchanged, so no magical growth achieved.

Nobody is going to call the US on existing debt, they're just not going to buy any more of it, leaving the US facing double digit interest rates/inflation, huge increases in import prices, economic stagnation, stratospheric tax increases, etc.etc.
