That cheap dollar is finally kicking in.... ...Still low though, overall. Makes our exports cheaper.
Exports are nice, but they just aren't the big bugaboo everyone seems to want to make of it.
We had no growth in exports in the late '90's and industrial production grew. Then from '01 to '03 exports grew and industrial production was flat.-- the US is so huge that exports are not that big of a factor.

Our industrial production is 50% higher than in 1992? How can this be? Willie Green told me we off shored and out sourced all our production. Was Willie wrong? I mean about this too?

the US is so huge that exports are not that big of a factor. Only something like 10% of our economy deals with exports, IIRC. Most of what makes America rich is our internal market.
