It's a myth. The world economy is a closed system. What is India 
going to do with dollar bills? They could always use them to cushion 
their mattresses but ultimately they must submit them to purchase 
U.S. goods. So you either mix photo chemicals or build weapons. 
Besides the scanner won't be made by U.S. labor either.
