You ought to look up Warren Buffet's plan. After we've all been buffeted
around by China and India for another decade or so, it just may gain some
traction.

It sounds like a better plan than the current (putting out fires) policy. It
might have some inherent problems though, as those countries that would
like/need to build their trade with us, (but are underdeveloped). They would be
hamstrung up front to achieve the "credits" needed to gain favorable markets
for their goods here. A catch 22. As long as the US has the appetite & the
money, there will never be "balanced" trade.
