Having to filter through your insults rather than answers is becoming more and more obvious why you won't answer...

I didn't initially post to you for an answer , but you chose to offer insults as if to imply you know the answer and I'm a fool because I'm not up to speed with you one world Globalists.

Without regard to whether I think it's good or bad or any idiotic stickers plastered on my car. Is a GE refrigerator, made in Mexico, my Dell laptop, made in Malaysia, my Kohler cast iron tub, made in China or my Volvo (owned by Ford) made in Sweden, included in the American manufacturers production statistics?

Yes or no....

Is a GE refrigerator, made in Mexico, my Dell laptop, made in Malaysia, my Kohler cast iron tub, made in China or my Volvo (owned by Ford) made in Sweden, included in the American manufacturers production statistics?

And now, in order to amuse myself some more. BUT YES.

Take your Dell, for example. The portion of it made in Malaysia, and the value added there, no. The portion of it made in North Carolina, Tennessee, or Texas, yes. (I'll bet you didn't know Dell has plants there).
