I bought a pair of "almost Timberland" boots in China for $8. I also got a nice Nike Jacket for $12 (overpaid) and 4 North Face jackets for $25. Now, some of these MAY NOT be real brand name items, but I could give a rats ass. I'm stylin. The rest of the world don't make no money to buy a $100 Nike Jacket.

Their economy grew close to 8% last year and China's inflation was considerably higher than here. We're not only importing deflationary pressures, but we're exporting our inflation. We pump in dollars here and they end up there. What China and Russia both need more than anything is hard currency they can do biz with the rest of the world, they are happy to store our dollars.
