<<If you are paying debts, you can´t consume>> and if a nation ceases to consume, even as it continues to be a global pest, regardless of truth that it is winding up and winding down, it does not and cannot make anything for self or anyone else, especially if working against true competition on level ground and neutered of ability to steal more or rob again or otherwise grab at resource of others without biblical consequence, and can no longer change rules as it pleases as it goes, spin or no spin recommendation: getgold, for it is still dirt cheap even as it gets less so every day, with one day in the middle kingdom equalling about 3-5 in the empire the idea that the empire is exempt from natural laws that does what comes naturally to rome, china, britain, japan, zimbabwe, argentina, etc etc is destructive when one's investment stance is premised on such, because natural laws are natural laws, with no exemptions

>>So now the consumption is bricks and tiles, and copper cable, and pipes, and cement and wood to make houses. These are very cool things. These are the things that make or break an economy. Appliances matter, too, things like refrigerators and washers and driers. An autonomous drop in the consumption of these goods is a very Bad Thing, worst if it means that the vendors are experiencing a drop in orders. I would suggest, although I cannot yet prove, that the worst sign for a modern economy is an autonomous drop in short term (90 day or less) commercial credit. Anecdotally, right now I am working hard on obtaining financing for the sale of a Ford E450 commercial truck that fell through, my guess is due to tightening of the credit markets. I feel as if there was an unadvertised credit crunch, globally. Maybe it loosened up within the past week or so, for those who can meet underwriting standards.
