As kids growing up, we would go around looking for soda bottles to turn in for the dime. Because even at a young age we knew that without money, we
couldn’t buy anything. What did we buy? Cheap candy, fishing hooks, bobbers and sinkers, matches or a communal lighter (although usually we found
them). Various things that kids buy. But usually we made things by looking it over like slingshots or toy parachutes for Army men.
Point is...If people don’t make money. They don’t spend money. Doesn’t matter where it is made. I can make a pretty darn good loaf of bread. It
is easier just to buy it. But if I can’t afford flour, I can always gather grass seeds and grind them down. Wont taste as good as homemade or store
bought. I can grind corn into cornmeal as well. And cornbread tastes much better. About two ears worth for a typical small pan for supper by the way.
But if America isn’t buying, who is China gonna produce products for? Their own people are not buying it if they live outside the cities without
working the factory jobs in the cities. They don’t have the money to buy it either.
