The US produces pieces of paper to trade with foreign countries in return for goods we do not want to produce ourselves. We then allow foreign countries to immediately give us back those pieces of paper for instruments that give them the right to receive pieces of paper in the future when they are worth less.

We could not be more angry about it.

All around the world, people are engaged in difficult labor to produce goods for American consumers.

And in exchange they get pieces of paper that we can basically print as many as we want of.

And yet some claim that we’re the ones getting ripped off.
