:The US economy used to be self-contained and self-sufficient, but no longer; the US has an $875 billion annual [[trade deficit]] with China, meaning we export $875 billion a year in cash to our supposed enemies that could be used here to create jobs for homeless, etc.  And what does China do with the $875 billion in capital they import from American consumers every year? Build a military! SHOCK! HORROR! Now we have to increase defense spending and taxes because Wal consumers are helping to build the Chinese military!
