Scenario 1: I exchange 500$ for a television with a Chinaman. He then exchanges 500$ for western clothing with an American.
Scenario 2: I exchange 500$ for a television with a Chinaman. He converts them to Euros and buys a German blender. The Japanese money-changer who bought his USDs buys American clothing for 500$.

A fertile imagination can concoct many ludicrous scenarios.
The reality is that the American Textile Industry is being obliterated.
Do you have any other bright ideas???

The textile business is gone.

All of our production has gone to China. Check your labels.

The NYSE listed company I work for used to manufacture about 90% of our garments in the U.S. using approximately 75% U.S. textiles. That was ten years ago. Today we manufacture about 95% of our product overseas.

The Chinese aren't buying ANYTHING, THEY ONLY SELL!

Yeah it's really ludicrous to imagine a chinaman buying a german blender. outlandish! You are so full of it, you don't have a single argument against my post.

The reality is that the American Textile Industry is being obliterated.

I can see you at the beginning of the century saying how the nation's future depended on the survival of the buggywhip industry. bull**** then, bull**** now.

Yeah, read "Hidden Order" by David Friedman
