If the American consumer is so valuable

Then pay us to consume. Everyone is talking about how the American consumer still stands as the hope of the global economy. Time magazine, Pettis and others.

So, if Asia doesn't quite get the concept of decoupling, I guess consumption by me should be paid for by Asians.   Asian economies that want me to consume, e mail me and I will notify you on how to deposit $20,000 in my account. I promise to spend it.
