the trade surplus hawkmoon is complaining about is a direct consequence of ponzi currency printing by his selected representatives and has little to do with mercantilistic anything, as anyone with any modicum economic figuring would naturally know.

most unbecoming whining, as in, "oh, i am forced to buy inexpensively imported and value-packed goods, because i am benefiting from ponzi financing that does harm to enterprise within the domain surrounding ponzi finance central that be washington d.c. but, yes,

i wish to keep a day job so as to make more ponzi walking around cash so that i can buy more expensive stuff"

:0)

want more expensive stuff? buy french labels!

;0)

Definitely concur.. if we can find products made locally that don't cost 3 times as much.. My father was strictly a buyer of American vehicles (normally GMC/Chevrolet). I guess I was the bastard for buying Toyotas.. ;0)

However, economic realities come into play for cash strapped consumers trying to get by.. Hence, all the folks shopping at Walmart. But I strongly encourage buying local wherever possible.
