We're Screwed
Ok,
Because we have been so cheap over the years, China owns us. I will forever from this date pay extra for American made products. Don't shop at WalMart. Wake Up! This is serious. I'd rather pay now than let my childrem pay later.

You think WalMart's the only place that sells made in China stuff?

Just wait until China gets sick of Taiwan's schit, decides to land troops there and the U.S. tries to get in the way. Just wait. The Chinese will call in all U.S. debt and bankrupt us overnight.
They're systematically dismantling the greatest superpower in the history of the world without firing a shot. AND they're doing it by using our own most deeply-held economic beliefs (greed and capitalism) against us. Quite brilliant actually. Ni Hao!!!

having worked in the medical device industry for over 10 years, you'd be surprised to know how many components are made in China.

"Oh, but it's more 'cost effective'. . . "
There's your problem. Or answer, depending.
