WSJ report.

The authors calculate that the cost to the economy from the increased government payments amounts to one- to two-thirds of the gains from trade with China. In other words, a big portion of the ways trade with China has helped the U.S.─such as by providing inexpensive Chinese goods to consumers─has been wiped out. And that estimate doesn't include any economic losses experienced by people who lost their jobs.

China saves Europe?

Fareed: Only China can save Europe

In a world awash in debt, power shifts to creditors. After World War I, European nations were battered by debts, and Germany was battered by reparation payments. The only country that could provide credit was the United States. For America, providing desperately needed cash to Europe was its entry into the councils of power, a process that ultimately brought a powerful new player inside the global tent. Today's crisis is China's opportunity to become a "responsible stakeholder" in the global system. If this doesn't happen, hold on to your seat because we're in for a rough ride.

If not us, who?

The quotation
The film

And inflation? From 1980 to 1988, it dropped from an annual rate of 10.4 percent to 4.2 percent, and unemployment dropped from 7 percent to 5.4 percent. When Reagan made clear that he was willing to support a tightening of the money supply to fight inflation, some advisers warned that such a policy might bring on recession. Reagan responded by using the prophet Hillel’s words: “If not now, when? If not us, who?”
