<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LEG END, post: 1144233, member: 26139&quot;]Not to worry, folks. Here is how it goes. At some point, I found a widget for sale cheaper at a store about twenty miles from me, so I would travel and buy it. Then, after a while, gas began rising. At length it became LESS EXPENSIVE to buy that widget at the store nearest me. Yes it cost more than when you last purchased it some months ago, but it should. Everything costs more after a while. That&#039;s called inflation, and it&#039;s because business bid up their costs by paying their employees more, and for overhead costs like lights. Then they pass the costs on. At some point, that barrel of oil WILL BE $300 DOLLARS A BARREL. It will then not be possible for the Chinese to sell us at the $100 dollar per barrel price-for anything. Even with labor costs zero. oil costs will eventually lead to a re-emergence in American manufacturing. Once we begin building state of the art plants to make the items that the Chinese are selling us, then our QUALITY improvements (a natural by-product of new manufacturing techniques) will lead other nations to buy from us. Then that huge monetary surplus in Dollars the Chinese are sitting on will be used by them to make purchases HERE to undergird their society. We will have then paid ourselves for OUR re-emergence. That&#039;s called an economic cycle, seen globally. Take a look at one statistic for support of this digression. Motor vehicle deaths. Less motor vehicle deaths than ever recorded. Even with more cars, more drivers, and more total miles. Even the Cracker Jack prize Chevy Cruz ($ 15,000 and some change) has ten air bags. You&#039;de need to be hit by lightning during a tornado while the accident is occurring to be hurt in the Cruz. Wonderfully safe. And anyone who thinks we cannot out-manufacture any other nation in the world need only look at our production of Peeps each Easter. There ya go. We can beat them all at turning a screwdriver. Sears. K MART. Auto Zone. PEP BOYS. Ace Hardware. KFC. Burger King. The list goes on and on. We are all gonna be just fine, Made right here, in the USA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
