The Chinese only got IOUs. Unemployment is 10.9%. That is people applying for and receiving those checks. It also includes those signed up with state employment offices. It doesn't include those who have given up. That number is around 20%. The middle class is disappearing. No modern developed country can exist as such without a middle class. The way things are going we need to hope Haiti prospers. We may need their help in the future. Those cell phones, ipods and laptops haven’t been paid for. The Chinese only got IOUs.

I say, good. McDonalds and Burger King are booming. The better restaurants have a 2 hour waiting time on Friday and Saturday. Every child over the age of 7 has a cell phone, an Ipod, and a laptop. We are in the process of sending a gazillion dollars to Haiti. Every family has at least 2 cars , 5 or 6 bedrooms, 2 or 3 bathrooms. Oh, the humanity!
