I just looked at some numbers for our trade balance with various countries. Boyoboy are we in a world of hurt. Only thing left to do is drop the dollar to a nickel if China decides it doesn't need us anymore. Just who is going to buy all these computers and telecom equipment? and drugs? It sure isn't our trading partners.
