So? How much of that is Chinese base product, with minimal additional US contribution,...marked up to U.S. retail? Your bookkeeping misses the point completely.
It is especially telling that you blow off the actual vectors and growth indicators and their scope, after you explicitly wanted that comparison. Now you are already running for the tall grass and trying to throw sand in the eyes...t'sk.
As an aside, it should be mentioned that you can never have a realistic comparison vis-a-vis China so long as there is no adjustment for the Communist's strategy to deeply understate the value of their labor and hence their product.
Hemorrhage is a strange word to use to describe our rising manufacturing output. Maybe it doesn't mean what you think it means.
More likely "rising U.S. manufacturing output" doesn't mean what you think it means.
Well, considering we imported $22.25 billion from China in May, I'd say not very much.

I love that we manufacture 5 times more than China and that proves to you we are enfeebled.

So they sell us an $80 product for $60? That's gonna make them rich. LOL!

Right. Because our output is falling?
Gutierrez also said the U.S. has doubled its manufacturing output since 1985 and is significantly outpacing Mexico, Germany, France and Japan in production.
