What happened to the China Trade Truce? China is still refusing to buy US debt... OH, but they are buying soybeans from a US taxpayer subsidized/socialized industry. The current distraction now in play is The Boarder Wall/Government shutdown. What's next?
Are we surprised though? Greg, don't you think we are headed for the reversal of "globalization"? I have read recently a theory that we will pull back our military from our overstretched positions as the world drops the petro-dollar. We will then be left to rot by China and Russia as they create a bifurcated Eastern/Western hemisphere economic paradigm... I think it's spot on!
