   	But it does give good ventilation.  And the US goods do sell better   
   when cheaper overseas.   
      
   	Back to the money inflation has always been the answer to dealing   
   with all the money the 3rd world owes the USA.  If we make the dollar   
   worth very little then the big bills these poor nations owe can   
   be written   
   off as insignificant.   
      
   	And just because your currency unit is cheap doesn't mean the   
   worker cannot have a good standard of living.  In Japan the Yen is   
   worth about a penny or less and the prices of goods such as dvds   
   are higher but they still have a lively domestic market in all goods.   
      
   	Just my dimes worth(formerly my 2 cents worth) but just   
   a penny for the thoughts..  You paid at the door though you   
   may have forgotten that.
