Isn't that the truth. None of them ever stops to realize we manufacture and export more now than at any other time in our history

We import more manufactured items than any other time in our history and this is why we run 850 billion dollar trade deficits. Oil imports are also a killer.

and we still lead the world in just about every area of technology.

Asians are gaining and lead in many fields. Japan leads in many fields

Killing us so badly our GDP only grew at a 5.7% clip last quarter. LOL

Yeah, just like in the 80's? It's deja vu all over again.

Japan leads in many fields

Sure. Japanese creativity and entrepreneurial ability is legendary.
