Really? I propose that you conduct a simple little experiment. Go on a shopping trip! Buy nothing but goods made entirely in the USA. Try to buy electronics...clothing...shoes...tools...appliances. You'll find very few things that we make anymore.
Unless the Chinese decide to clutter their homes with arts and crafts, there is very little they can buy that's made in the USA - just like you and me.
Now, why is that? Simple enough, really. We've exported our industrial base. We don't produce anything here because we sent it all offshore! And now we persist in digging the hole deeper and making the problem worse.
(Sigh)
The article says the chinese ran a 8 billion dollar trade deficit in Jan. We ran a 44 billion dollar trade deficit with and economy 4 times the size.
The Chinese are importing like crazy. We don't have anything they want to buy. Like I said and you said it too, we don't make anything here anymore.
The problem lies with us.
