key passage

"The Chinese currently sell manufactured goods to the U.S. at a discount of roughly 25% relative to wholesale market prices, because they don't control many of the gatekeepers, the marketing and distribution machines that rake in the big bucks from manufactured products."

i can't attest to the quantitative aspect (25%)

doubtless grabs the lions share
of the rent trap built atop
the trans pacific forex fiddle slury
the dragon gets crums or at least presents itself as getting crums
in this second of all best worlds

or is it ???

the credit mills are grinding
a bit too fine these days

ah to crash figures
into figures
orwell you are a filthy drab scut !!!!

making the obvious "doubt able"
by posing two causals and calling for a pick one

we have the volume constraining
boundary of a rigid chamber
and the forced entry of air

pressure will increase inside the chamber

now
is it the walls of the chamber or the entering air
causing the increase ???

lets agree
use regs are rent producing

and circular collateralization credit systems
can tit twist both ways

now release themselves
from their feasible debt service moorings
at least when in "final " full ponzi mode
and pooom

once regs are switched off .....

rule of thumb notions
(like income to debt ratios )
-- usually in place to govern this process---
are no longer a determinative prudence
not
when pass thru speeds
reach high enough velocity
to qualify as a looters highway
