BTW, I don't think that China made a long term plan to suck the US dry, as suggested by the article I posted, because no one could have predicted the easy money policies of Greenspan and Bernanke. They led directly to a huge consumer feast and the increase in China's reserves.

I agree. Our problems are self-inflicted, and any solutions must come from within. China didn't put us here, and China won't get us out.

china collapsed
hit bottom
and decided it was done exporting revolution and was done with revolution of the messier sort

china decided it wanted to revert to its natural mean
and got on with the job to sate 600 years of pent-up demand

china decided to export manufacturing deflation, and the world decided it wished to import china manufacturing deflation

america decided it wanted to export monetary inflation
and china decided to import american monetary inflation

it was a win win
it may not be a win win
it likely shall not be a win win
only time can tell, in 7-15 months by typical american figuring, or 70-150 years by usual chinese tallying

i figure we ought to have a hint w/i 7-15 years

supposedly flexible america premised that america wanted leveled playing field and energetic competition
allegedly communist china premised that it deserves its natural mean and can get back there via enterprise

america is getting what it wished for, enabled by its so-called secret weapon the printing press

china is getting what it bargained for, facilitate by the printing press it certainly invented, coincidentally along with ink, paper, and paper money

both got the best dessert "fiat money inflation in france" can buy

in actuality china was exporting what the usa was also exporting, monetary inflation, with the difference being that china had a lot more room to inflate than america ever had the capacity to stomach

as the two large-capacity societies got hooked up via systemic hose but without adequate financial-political feedback loop, the lesser states hooked up the the main artery hose blew up first, and we wait to see what else may happen with the two main culprits at the end of the same hose

whatever else we may say, we must say, "this time is different, for this time fiat money inflation is planet engulfing"

is my read :0)

recommendation: getgold
for it is good enough for both hyper inflation as well as adequate for diaper deflation

"We are screwed. A corporatist state in the midst of a nation riddled by inane regulations, political correctness, and a culture of entitlement that affects the right and the left, individuals and corporations." Could not be said more adroitly.

Love how the blame for the racism that is actually driving this fiasco can be nuanced this way.

The strategy to "take our country back" is being executed hardball style.

And we know who they want to take it back from.
