As I see it our "system" needs fuel to thrive and run smoothly... that "fuel" is money from domestic and foreign "customers"... and we need those customers to buy our goods and services if this system is to survive as we know it (or once knew it). This nation was built and has thrived off the back of the industrial revolution from so long ago... China is the *new* United States... so what will we become?
