Intelligent educated people buy products from each other. We are richer, not poorer, because of all the educated people in overseas countries.

yes they get wealthy and we get poorer buying their finished goods from them usually with credit we get from their banks ! But you mistakenly think that mowing lawns and making cups of coffee makes up for it. If it did the chinese would be doing that instead of investing trillions into plant and equipment !

Maybe this video will change your mind !

So for the last several centuries we have been getting richer through international trade, but that is suddenly going to reverse because the Chinese get in on the action?

The greedy US corporations couldn't wait to close down, sack all of the local workers and move all oif their operations over to china and now china is ripping them off as well !! Bad move and the US knows it now. Just look at what is left of their middle class. It has been totally stripped and gutted which is a fate that awaits us when the credit dries up.

Case closed.

The video maker stated many facts - shopping malls closing down etc.
I believe his ideas are plausible.

Any ideas in particular? Did you specifically choose a video rather than a written article because it saved you the bother of critical thinking?

we are number 4 standard of living in the world. Not bad for 3rd world. And back when all we had was life off the sheeps back in the 1900s we were number 1 in the world.

I dont see why we have some urgent need to export manufactured goods like cars and cheap TVs. We have an almost inexhaustible supply of land, the technology to farm the land for clean food and an enormous export market desperate for our product. witness the demand for Australian made baby formula in China. We need to ditch the mindset that we are somehow need to compete with the Chinese in manufacturing cheap electronics and textiles, that way will lead to 3rd world.

Then why are we importing truck loads of food produce ? Just check your woolies and coles isles and see where it comes from lately ?

I don't know what more you'll find in a bunch of words on a website compared to someone actually turning up at a mall and comprehensively filming it in covert fashion to show how many of the shops and businesses have been closed down. And this is not just one isolated case either. This pattern is repeated across the whole of the US !! Many of these videos also compare footage of when the malls were first opened and how busy they were !!

No one said the market was one way. I dont see any Chinese made baby formula on our shelves, do you? Overseas demand for Australian agriculture exports is enormous and growing, we are seen as a clean food producer. I saw Australian bananas and apples on the shelves in Jakarta last time I was there, not local. Big prices too. Australian meat, sold by the 100 grams, not local. Aussie wine is all over Asia. They cant get enough of it.

And the debt obligation keeps increasing as we borrow more to buy more imported manufactured goods. The whole economy is being underwritten by cheap credit. We'll need a lot of baby formula to get ourselves out of this hole we have dug for ourselves Sad

maybe we need to get out of the habit of upgrading our cheap Chinese TVs every year. I agree that cheap credit is a trap but stating the whole economy is underwritten by it is nothing more than hyperbole. And when you talk about Australia being in a debt "hole" you overlook this Hawke/Keating legacy

With current total assets of $2 trillion, the pool of the Australian superannuation system is projected to double to $4 trillion in the next 10 years and reach $9.5 trillion by 2035. Deloitte Superannuation Leader, Russell Mason, said in real terms this means that the contribution of superannuation assets will almost double from 120% of current annual Gross Domestic Product (AUD$1.6 trillion - the 12th largest GDP in the world) to more than 200% of GDP in the next 20 years.

Would you prefer they paid the UK or NZ for their degrees?

Agreed. That's where we get a lot our export income from, once you take out primary products. We even export a lot of parts to the auto industry.

They're charging our own citizen youth $100,00 for a degree .... then they can't get work. Roll Eyes
