I don't subscribe to modern art either. Just because it's newer doesn't mean it is better. I think the economy is flexible enough to handle itself without government interference under most circumstances.
Secondly, I think right now the mean propensity to consume is too low for tax cuts to have any real effect on the economy. People are still uncertain and reluctant to spend.

2: It boils down to this, the US and China CAN'T AFFORD TO GO TO WAR with each other. The world market depends too heavily on the US, and China, as do each respective country's economy. That, and if the UN got involved and that = more economic sanctions. China would be a 3rd world country again. as far as death numbers... yea, those would be big and ugly 
.
If North Korea nuked the US and we retaliated, I think China would use their full second strike capability against the United States.
