I’m inclined to believe your assertions that this will not spell economic doom. After all, the u.s. news media treats nine percent growth instead of ten percent growth as if it were ruinous. OToH, i think you’re downplaying it a bit. Our trade deficit with them is near ten percent of their entire GDP. And the major source of their fluidity. And I don’t buy for a second that they’re only selling junk to us but high quality goods to everyone else.

Nothing flashy, but I’ve always liked the intros to “Life In The Fast Lane” and “Johnny B. Goode”.

Not sure why, by these lines right after the intro always made me smile:
He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty

True, true. All those iPhones for instance, come from FoxCon. They are not junk...even though they can apparently be disabled by helium. Heh heh.

Never the less, the numbers clearly show that while America accounts for 33% of all outbound shipping containers from China, America only represents 11% of the total amount by value. If junk was evenly distributed to the rest of the world, then the figure would also be 33%, would it not?
