Sure, they could play it safe and hold on to that money, but it isn't gonna help the economy any, is it?

Saving some will help the economy because if you just spend within your means, you won't necessarily need as many loans in the first place, and therefore, you won't have another situation where everyone's living on credit, and when it comes time to pay up, no one can, which is what triggered this whole mess in the first place.

Part of the reason only.

that and the fact that it has become (through labor laws set up by communist worker unions) too expensive to employ people in this country for this kind of meaidal tasks

Still missing the issue of currency.

no but they have to make sure they can trust the people they are giving loans to nick otherwise they will waste the money they have to use to hold off going out of buieness

they won't go out of buisness, the government will just bail them out again, which I know, will s.crew us again, but they have to take some form of risk.

Lmao, where are you buying this stuff? I was visiting in China, and had none of these issues. Man, I was living at the source of these supposedly low quality goods, and nothing was as bad as that. XD .

Well, seeing as how we are in 3 trillion dollar deficit, I'd say its already too late for that.

I should also add, besides, imports from China only make up 18% of the total imports the US takes in, so please, no one tell me that everything here is made in China.

Germany was actually the biggest exporter of goods until this year.

. No seriously, it was dirty in some places. XD .

yeah the tourist spots are not really the norm of china they are kind of specialized to the tourists

and nearly 90% of goods (like PS2 controllers and tvs) come from china

Yes, 5 out of 7 of the goods you mentioned where made in China. They should all be either garbage, or will be garbage in exactly... .0068 seconds.

I didn't visit the tourist spots. I was visiting an ailing relative, who died shortly after seeing me for the first time. Me, the first in that family line born in the US.
