Please lah....Consumer goods in the US are all made in China. What kind of trade war you want?......it takes certain percentage of content to be assemble in the US to qualify for made in USA .
But morally let me raise this question.
The US literally are printing money from future tax payer money within the States. The argument becomes so why are the world eye the pie? Greed perharps?
Personnally I think it might be better to let this govt fiscal stimulus package be cannibalized domestically let the US economy time to heal, and let the US consumer create Demand for consumer goods. (Consumer goods are all import)
anyway i believe the majority benefit would be going to China.....................

You said "the majority benefit would be going to China."
That is what it looks like. That is the outward appearence. The reality is somewhat different. The reason why the US buys from the coolie economies of Asia partly stems from the fact that the coolie economies' government are lending the USA US Dollars (question mark whether they can get back the same amount they lend) to buy their goods.
I repeat, they are lending the USA US dollars. The USA on the other hand, just print more and more US Dollars.
If that is what you call "benefit", I call that stupidity.
