overstrech and arrogance make for lethal mixture
combine them with pushing China on yuan upgrade, tariffs
we are biting the hands that feed us capital
like $3 billion per day

I cannot comprehend the depth of stupidity in such policy
this follows seeking low-cost solutions in Asia
US multinational corporations invested huge money in China
they got US blessing to produce more cheaply since 2000

did you know that 60% of all Chinese exports are from foreign multinationals?
a big block of that is US firms
so we are importing from ourselves, by way of China
pure labor arbitrage
now we want China to take a higher price in higher yuan
or else we slap a tariff on them (or is it us?)

do these effing morons realize the US has no mfg base ?
we cannot pick up slack from a more beneficial currency exchange rate

my God! we are utter idiots in WashDC
my suspicion is there is a group of higher level bankers above all this
they will pull the plug on the current USGovt Administration
