Obama calls Long-Term Debt "Unsustainable" Reports Bloomberg

President Barack Obama warned that the nation cannot continue to borrow from China because of the interest on this debt will be passed along to our next generation, according to a Blooomberg.com article. Obama warned that holders of the nation's debt will eventually lose interest in buying it -- resulting in higher rates on everything from home mortgages to auto loans. The President's remarks were made at a town hall meeting near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Obama also revealed that the "card-check" legislation lacks sufficient backing in the Senate, and that it is likely that there will be compromises necessary to get the bill passed, reports Bloomberg.com.
