Additionally U.S. employment in manufacturing has declined from 17 million to 11 million since 2000.

Finally, a fact. I was afraid you were unable to post one. Maybe you should compare how much we manufactured in 2000 and how much we manufacture now, with millions fewer workers? If you're able?

And as the imports from China and other places are increasing at an exponential rate

And maybe look up the definition of exponential?

You really things are ok since as you say we the U.S. produce more than anyone?

It's nice to see you haven't stopped putting words into my mouth.

the international socialists say we produce more than china

Reality is saying that we produce more.

And you don't see a problem here? It's even worse than that because in that 11 million are included mining jobs and jobs in power plants(that's something else the government calls manufacturing).

Here's another fact in the U.S. , manufacturing jobs as a percentage of population are at 3.8%. That's extremely low. China has manufacturing workers in a number equivalent to 33% of the U.S. entire population. And you believe all these “stats” that the U.S. manufactures more than China?

It's even worse when you look at the long term decline of manufacturing jobs , they are declining at an alarming rate and even more so as a percentage of population .
