Hmmmmm....$399.9 billion in May times 12 months is about $4.8 trillion orders in a year. And I thought all our factories were shutting down and being sold to China? I guess Pat Buchanan and Paul Craig Roberts were wrong, again.

Pretty impressive. That would make our manufacturing base alone almost as large as the world's second biggest economy, Japan ($5.1 trillion). And to think some here believe we don't make nothin' no more.
