No he cannot, because there aren't any anymore.

No American built products?

LOL!

Yeah, no American products. And especially so if one counts the subcomponents made elsewhere and merely assembled here, which I am sure is not represented in your pretty picture.

Try and find a fan (since that was the particular example) that is American made. I bought three this summer. Two made in China and one made in Malaysia, and I look for American made every time I buy.

No steel mills. No stamping mills. no extrusion mills. No ball bearing plants. no Seal and Rubber plants. No Refineries. There are no inventories either for that matter (Thanks for JIT, the POS).

As I said elsewhere, If WWII started tomorrow we would not be able to win as we did. We don't have the bricks and mortar to support a war effort of that size.
