Actually, Bill Clinton let them in the WTO. I like Clinton, but he played a major part.

The fact is the US consumer created this situation. Addiction to having the latest and greatest (even if it's cheap Chinese crap), the open availability of consumer credit, the incessant need to stroke oneself with new phones, tvs, laptops, cars, furniture, etc., etc., etc.

You want blame? Look to the left, the right and in the mirror.

The USA emerged from WWII as the richest country in the world. Since, it has only gotten richer. None of the other first-world countries come close in terms of sheer disposable income.

And it's only human nature to want to accumulate stuff and buy at low prices. Third world nations are developing and some have become first world nations based on that principle - they provided cheap goods for decades to any consumer willing to buy.

Supply and demand, people.

This is NOT a zero sum game. EVERYONE has become richer. Globalism is a good thing.

After WW2 there were no functioning economies left. They all had been destroyed during the war. The British empire wealth transferred stopped.

No it’s from endless tax cuts which reduced revenue to cover entitlements.

If we had 50s taxes there would be deficit.

The US survived just fine when there were 0 income taxes.

I think the concern is actually JAPAN dumping US bonds. Look up the yen carry trade unwind.

You should have an allocation target and a strategy for how it evolves. I wouldn’t ask random questions like this on dcum. We have no idea how much money you have, your age, your liabilities etc. stop reacting and start planning.

lLet them, I’ll buy my share when the yield gets to 5%, thats the trigger. I think a lot of buyers show up at that yield.

Right now, too low to be interesting.

Yeah! Kid worked in mines and factories, most people did not get beyond an 8th grade education. No safety net, so if your parents died young, which they did more often, you had to live in an orphanage. It was AWESOME!!!!!

It’s like you watched The Gilded Age and thought, wow, I bet everyone was happier then, as if it were representative of how the majority barely survived.
