U.S. vs. China

Is now the time for the U.S. to get tough with China or have we already allowed them to get the upper hand, with Ted Fishman, China Inc. and Alan Tonelson, U.S. Business & Industry Council.





China has predatory economic policies stealing growth from us by giving us money to buy their stuff and under valueing their currency? and that they're responsible for the economic crash. It crazy that people love to blame on others what is obviously our fault  ,TRUTH IS we in the west no longer build anything that anyone wants. there was a time when people here and abroad would decide between a ford or a chevy. NOW is it going to be a honda, a mazda, a nissan, a hyundai, or EVEN the lowly kia. forget about toasters and fridges they're long gone from being made here. the only american cars that are any good now are ford. the rest is just garbage and nobody not even us want it.

My way to participate what is going on is to own commodities because if the world economy gets better, commodities will do very well because of the shortages. If the world economy does not get better, I still want to own commodities because the government is going to print more money. It is a wrong thing to do printing money, but that is all they know. So whenever they print money, it is good for real assets. So either way, I would rather own commodities than shares because I do not know what is going to happen to the world economy and I do know many emerging markets have been very-very over exploited. ..."
