Yes they make a lot of stuff that when we go deeper into recession most US folks will stop buying but the ChiCommies will still buy our planes and train locomotives and high end machine tools and our dairy goods. I never said they were small or not imposing in stature and rhetoric but they are hosed and they know it.
Well we differ in our interpretations then.
I see China as (much) stronger, than you seem to currently.
Anyway it was great talking with you.
What about the oil pipe line from Canada and getting the flow of oil going strong again in this country? It’s the high price of oil that’s driving the price of everything sky high!
Oil is a major cost factor in food grown in the US, but the actual price increases can be tied to a decrease in acres cultivated an increase in the cost of farmland. Also the cost of fertilizer(oil based), seeds (many companies now control the seed market and the prices have been steadily climbing for years), and perhaps the single most costly factor, a consolidation of acres under large corporations that allow ADM and Monsanto and others to use futures to keep prices high all the time.
