If one does not see it within three feet of one's nose, it does not exist. Simple, and glorious.

Yup, just redefine the facts whenever it suits your purpose and the facts become impossible to discern. But one fact is that the USA has only one jet liner manufacturer left that that is Boeing and Boeing is being replace by Airbus as the worlds leading jet liner manufacturer. Embracers is also eating away at the smaller jet liner market. Also the Ariena rocket has replaced American rockets as leading (heavy) launch vehicles (Russia's proton is quite successful too). I wonder when was the last time the USA build a ship (not a USN warship? A nuclear power plant? A chemical refinery? Or a even just a frieght train?
