    *Dials China, Brazil and India* ;)

    At 30% of the world's consumption rate, I think the oil is way more important to your government than bringing back jobs from the past. That's not real job creation.

    It's going to be pretty impossible to compete with China at this point, might as well focus on what you're good at and try to create NEW jobs.

    This was a DD idea. Don't assume it was well thought out.

    Sure they will, whenever countries get tired of banks making demands that are not for the good of their constituants, they will turn away.
