Bullshit.

Computers are built in the 3rd World. The other jobs require highly educated people so unless we sink a lot more into teaching, which is expensive, we ship those jobs over seas or import workers to do the jobs.

The only thing that's saved the West's economy is Banking and Services, with higher debt.No one will help us once the Chinese take over Banking and Services and won't buy government bonds.
