Yep I give you $40 for cigars. You give it to your wife for a hairdo. Hairdresser goes and gets a tank of gas where my kid works part time. My kid gets paid and gives me $40 for his cell phone bill......

Basically the same $40 goes around in a circle. I worked with a State Funded Program that would get us connected with their international reps. We would export out them and get their money into the State. That's how you get growth. A couple times a year I'd get a project going with the Russians, Africans, whatever. Your point is absolutely valid, Spex.
