Another way to say this is foreign investment. So much foreign investment.

China (and other big surplus countries) put a lot of money in to keeping the cost of things in the US low, due to their own mercantilist policies, directly at the expense of their own household sector.



I mean sure, one way is keeping yuan cheap against the usd.

But the real issue is still the commoditization of debt.
