There are the "china eggs" too, break them open and there is nothing there, they may just want to see what they could get.

Interesting, but China does have 1/5 of the worlds population, and US is an immigration country, so I am not surprised by the 18% figure.

My money is on China losing faith and selling its dollar reserves and creating a huge dollar devaluation, but that's just speculation.OK, so we were talking about municipalities, why did I go high level?

The seller, I discovered, is trying to liquidate because he's moving to China!

He would then maximize profits by building the houses in China and then shipping them here combined with a massive marketing campaign to convince the public that not only are his houses pretty nice, but they make you a little hipper than what you once were.

Without workers paying taxes, how can we continue to pay China the trillions of dollars in interest on all the loans they bought?

China and India are gobbling up alot of construction materials, pushing prices up and with low unemployment, contractors are charging higher rates. 

This is our own fault for buying foreign cars, junk from China, sending jobs to India, and buying oil from our enemies instead of drilling our own.

It was very commonly used in Florida during the real estate boom.It baffles me that drywall (which is extremely heavy) could be produced in China, shipped here, and then sold for a profit.A sidenote - we've all heard of Chinese toys containing lead paint.

Through these classes I have been establishing contacts in UK, Poland, China, and other countries.
