Chinese are tightening their credit. I thinks Obama's problems just got
worse. Especially if China wants some of that maturing US debt paid off.

What happens if the USA just says, "No"?

Just curious.

They'll quit selling their products here. *That'll show us.

I dare you to walk around your house and find 10 items you need to live
life the way you do.. Then do an Internet search and see if you could
have those items if the Chinese stopped making them or the parts for
them... OK, you might be able to do it if you tried, but if everyone in
the country was trying to buy a pair of socks from the last company in
the US that made them (BTW I don't think anybody here does) we would run
out pretty quickly.

A huge part of the problem is the fact that we don't manufacture much
stuff here. IMO, we need to start making stuff here again. Of
course, we can't when unions think that unskilled labor assemblimg an
outlet strip should earn $60k a year.

And if we all bought socks from the last US company making them,
they'd have a banner year, expand, and we'd have the socks we need and
more jobs to boot.

They would never keep up with the demand. Did you know that there is a
city in China that basically makes all the retail socks we buy here in
America and most of the rest of the world. That's how manufacturing
works over there, one city (group) one product.. The whole area is all
about socks, millions and millions of socks. Or sock company wouldn't
last a month without spare parts and new machines from China anyway...

We would have no socks. No problem though, we wouldn't have any shoes
either, pants, shirts, toasters, coffeemakers, coats, tin cans for
food...

They could wipe us out so we better keep paying them and keep ourselves
valuable to them..
