"Are they going to pay our entitlements, fix our bridges? They certainly enjoyed the international exploitation while it lasted."
They certainly have over the past few decades. They've covered our asses so far buying trillions in U.S. government securities to finance wars, social security, infrastructure, etc.,
Let's hope they continue. If they don't help due to U.S. super-nationalist and protectionist policies the United States will be responsible for turning a deep recession into a full-scale depression.
When that happens you won't be able to buy American or foreign. But you can wave your "Buy American" sign when you sell apples on some street corner. It will make you feel really good and patriotic!
