Chatted with a friend this afternoon, very off topic, but since we've already very off-topic .....
He mentioned that he talked to a truck driver a few days ago, and the driver complainted life being tough these days and every year being struggling. The driver's job, of course, was moving things around, so he still had a job. What interesting was what he moves around -- "U.S. is exporting raw material, and importing finished products" (driver's words).
Selling raw material, buying finished products. That's today's mainstream trading model. The driver saw a problem,,,,,, a typical model in the past associated with Africa. Of course, he had no solution. That's Obama's job.
