If (foreign) people didn't want American made goods, we would not have sold $800 billion worth to them a last year

People, or countries, that spend twice as much as they make each year, go broke.

America made over $11 trillion last year. If we bought $600 billion more from foreigners than we sold to them, that's only about 6% of GDP. Try again? And this time try to understand the numbers a little better.

Question?

What would China do without the US market?

You know all of the other ecomomies are just ripping along, lets crush the goose and make soup. These golden eggs are just a pain in the * and you can't eat them.

Tell that to your representative in congress, supposedly they control the purse strings.
