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?

. . . Boeing is being replace[d] by Airbus as the worlds leading jet liner manufacturer.

No way, Airbus is up to 51% of the market? /sarc

You have yet to produce a fact other than "I used to see made in the USA often in stores, jeans, shoes, TVs, cars, just about everything was made in the USA. Now when I go to a store I have to look and look hard to find ANYTHING with a made in the USA label."

Who am I to argue with a fact like that?
