Make what? Our factories are moving to china - we export nothing to them. The trade deficit is now $500 billion per year. We don't export enough to make any money, because we don't make anything anymore, for use here or for export.

Go overseas, and try to find anything american made. Go to walmart and try to find anything amercan made.

Duh ???

336 - I just bought a new pair of glasses. I tried to get some American made frames. Apparently we no longer make glasses in this country.

At 5 places I went, they only had Japanese, Chinese and Korean frames. No one had seen any american frames in years.

So - if we have a war with the orient, we go blind, as we have no glasses factories in this country.

Yeah, those wacky Chinese. Sending us computers and stuff at WalMart and never buying anything with the green paper we send them. They must be below the median IQ.
