Well, could it be that there are a lot of big-time transactions going on in our system itself that benefit a few big multinationals that have taken their manufacturing and planted it over there? They make the stuff, and we buy the stuff. And this is the third point I want to make to you, which is, again, a little bit of self-reflection on our own role in this. They make the stuff; we buy the stuff. We run up debt; they have the cash; they buy the debt. So here we find ourselves in this very dysfunctional marriage of having shifted vast amounts of productive resources there because, supposedly, we can't make this more efficiently--supposedly. Really?
