a lot of the rhetoric you hear this only gets bad. let's go over to the wall and let me show you what a lot of people will tell you is the bad. by the way, it all depends on where you stand. a lot of companies make money out of this and you might be invested in them through your 401(k). the bottom line, chinese currency pegged to the u.s. dollars doesn't float to other currencies. a lot of people say it is yun valued by 10 to 40%. what does that mean? it means that things that are made in china end up being cheaper than equivalent u.s. goods because you pay for them in this and it ends up being cheaper. that becomes uncompetitive for u.s. industries. now here is another issue. hard work for little pay. chinese workers end up earning -- manufacturing workers end the equivalent of a dollar a day. now, the fact is that that is changing. the work force in china is changing. i'll at any time but that in a second.
