The radio talk show I am listening to as I go through this thread just had an applicable comment, commenting on how much the price of rebar has gone up lately, particularly in rebar, particularly because there is not enough steel, because China is building so fast, more in one city than in the whole US.

Per capita usage of steel in this country is four times has high as the per capita use of steel in China. Why don't you look it up?

Ah...but you heard it on the radio -- you are a dupe!

Wow - it was - I am talking about real time, right now, today, markets.

And let's see, even with your figures 4 times as high, they have 5 times as many people they are trying to bring up to our level.

Tell me, where are skyscrapers popping up like mushrooms in this country?

[XBob]

Where in this country are we building new car factory?

[XBob]

Where in this country are we building new steel mills?

[XBob]

Where in this country are we building new petro-chemical plants?

[XBob]

Where in this country are we opening new factories all over the place? Or any place for that matter. All I hear about is shutting down factories.
